Our Straight Shank Tool Extensions are designed to provide the extended reach necessary for machining deep cavities and hard-to-access surfaces. Engineered to be used in conjunction with standard ER tool holders, these extensions allow for greater flexibility in complex aluminum and non-ferrous profile fabrication. They are the ideal solution for projects requiring maximum clearance where standard-length tool holders cannot reach.

Features

  • Extended Reach Capability: Specifically designed for deep-pocket routing and trimming on complex extrusions and multi-chambered profiles.
  • Tool Clamping System Variety: Available with ER16, ER20, ER25 forms with “mini” nuts.
  • Shank Variety: 12, 16, 20 and 25mm shank sizes available to use in ER20, ER25, ER32 and ER40 primary collets
  • Industrial Construction: Manufactured from high-strength steel to maintain rigidity and minimize deflection during extended-reach operations.
  • Precision Shank Design: Features a precision-ground straight shank to ensure minimum run-out, maximum contact and holding power within the primary collet.
  • Safe Operational Guidelines:
    • Maximum Stability: For optimal holding power, the extension shank must be fully inserted into the tool holder's collet.
    • Torque Precision: Always tighten the collet nut to the manufacturer's recommended torque using a calibrated torque wrench.
    • Balance Note: Please note that once the extension is mounted, the original balancing grade of the tool holder is no longer guaranteed; it is recommended for lower RPM or non-critical finishing passes.
  • Machine Integration: Compatible with all major CNC machining centers and high-speed routers used in aluminum and vinyl fabrication.
