The sleeve will allow you to mount your tailstock centers in your
headstock for the purpose of truing them up, which has to be done
occasionally.
If the centers have to be trued now and then, is this an argument
against getting a carbide tipped one?

Will the sleeve introduce inaccuracy? ?Not really - any decent sleeve
will be much more accurate than you will ever need.

Short answer is ¡°yes¡±.? A 3MT dead center will work fine in the spindle.

*Subject:* [atlas-craftsman IO] Dead Center
The manual for my Atlas 10" says a sleeve is provided to go from a #2
Morse taper to a #3 Morse taper. I know little about machining and so I
don't know if this means I could buy a #3 Morse dead center and directly
put it in the headstock spindle and eliminate the sleeve. Would I be
able to do this, or could there still be some problems in the taper of
the bought dead center not matching like it should to the taper in the
headstock?
