We carry a range of machine tool accessories for metalworking tasks. Drill bushings guide and support the cutting tool to minimize bending and improve hole accuracy. You can choose from press-fit, slip-fixed, or castable drill bushings. Collets and chuck jaws are used to firmly hold circular workpieces or tools. We also carry chuck keys, leashes, and wrenches. Lathe centers help position and support long workpieces on a lathe to prevent the loss of accuracy caused by deflection or bending. We supply both live and dead lathe centers. Our hex-hole, square-hole, and square-slotted machine tool sleeves can be used to connect rods for making boring bars, milling cutters, and tool holders.

Chuck Accessories
We offer chuck jaw and nut kits, as well as chuck keys, leashes, and wrenches.
Chuck Jaws
Chuck Jaws have jaws, (sometimes called dogs) that are arranged in a radially symmetrical pattern like the points of a star. The jaws are tightenedto hold the tool or workpiece. Often the jaws will be tightened or loosened with the help of a chuck key, which is a wrench-like tool made for the purpose.
Collets
Collets are sleeve bushings that fit into collet chucks or machine spindles and hold small diameter tool workpieces. Firmly grips the tools and workpieces to keep them from wobbling or loosening during machining. Collets are used on cnc, milling machines, lathes, grinders, and other machine tools.
Drill Bushings
Drill bushings or drill guide are installed into a drilling jig to guide, support, and position a drill or other cutting tool during metalworking tasks. They keep the cutting tool from wandering or bending as it enters the workpiece.
Lathe Centers
Lathe centers help position and support long workpieces on a lathe to prevent the loss of accuracy caused by deflection or bending. We supply both live and dead lathe centers.
Machine Tool Sleeves
Our hex-hole, square-hole, and square-slotted machine tool sleeves can be used to connect rods for making boring bars, milling cutters, and tool holders.
V-Flange Collet Chucks & Adapters
V-flange collet chucks are used to hold a workpiece or tool by forming a collar around the object to hold it securely in place. Clamping force is applied through a tapered design that uses a sleeve and inner cylindrical surface. Allows self-centering, resistance against loosening, fast-chucking, and steady clamping pressure.
