TechniksUSA Shrink Fit Extensions
Get the most out of your tool holders by adding shrink-fit extensions to your tool crib. These handy extensions add shrink-fit capability and reach without the expense of buying dedicated shrink-fit toolholders. They work great with Techniks'low-cost induction heat shrink machine the TechnoSHRINK 2.

Shrink fit extensions are used with most types of tool holders including: collet chucks, shrink-fit holders, hydraulic chucks, milling chucks, end mill holders, etc. They hold cutting tool shank sizes of: 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", and 5/8".

Features:
  • More rigid and better T.I.R. than collet extensions 
  • Extended reach and slim design fits tight clearances 
  • Works with your existing tool holder inventory

Benefits: 
  • Lower cost than any other shrink fit system! 
  • Improved rigidity makes carbide cutting tools last longer 
  • Eliminates purchasing dedicated shrink-fit tool holders
