Straight Shank Collet Chucks & Extensions
Straight shank ER collet chuck extensions add reach: the straight shank goes in your holder and the ER collet holds the tool. 11 mini-nut extensions (ER8 to ER25) take a mini nut, for a small nose diameter in tight spaces, and 16 standard extensions take ER11 to ER40 collets with a hex or slotted nut.
All ER straight shank extensions feature:
- Collet pocket runout (T.I.R.) 0.0001"
- All surfaces precision ground
- PowerCOAT nut included
Extension length should not exceed a 4:1 ratio of length to diameter. For example, a 1/2" shank should not extend more than 2" in front of the holder. For shank sizes 1/8" (3 mm) or smaller, use our DNA (Dead Nuts Accurate) collets for best results.
