What is a Drill sleeve?

Drill Sleeves are used to adapt smaller morse taper shank tools to larger machine spindles. The cocentricity and taper angles are precisely controlled which allows perfect locking and concentric movement to the tool held. These are available in two types: A Grade – (Hardened and Ground) & Workshop Grade • Available in both Soft and Hard type.

What makes a summit Drill sleeve a good choice?

Material: SUMMIT Drill sleeves are from high-quality alloy steel to provide strength and durability. Hardening: Drill sleeves undergo heat treatment or hardening processes to enhance their wear resistance, ensuring a longer lifespan.

Why do drill sleeves come in different sizes?

Drill sleeves come in various sizes to accommodate different shank diameters and chuck sizes. The sizing is typically specified in terms of the outer diameter (OD) and the inner diameter (ID).The primary purpose of drill sleeves is to adapt drills with one shank size to fit into chucks or spindles with different size capacities.

How do drill sleeves work?

Hardening: Drill sleeves undergo heat treatment or hardening processes to enhance their wear resistance, ensuring a longer lifespan. Precision Machining: Drill sleeves are precision machined to tight tolerances to guarantee a secure and accurate fit, minimizing runout during drilling operations.

Do drill sleeves reduce or expand Chuck size?

Drill sleeves can either reduce or expand the shank size. Reduction sleeves are used when a smaller shank needs to fit into a larger chuck, while expansion sleeves are used for the opposite scenario. Material: SUMMIT Drill sleeves are from high-quality alloy steel to provide strength and durability.
