Maximize tooling flexibility and mount smaller-shank boring bars, tools, and drills into larger turret bores with industrial-grade Reducing Adapters (slotted cylindrical reduction sleeves for boring bar holders). Designed with a precision-ground outer cylindrical body, a precise inner clamping bore, and an axial clamping slot, these heavy-duty reduction sleeves adapt existing VDI toolholders and boring bar blocks to smaller tool shanks. Built with an alignment shoulder collar and internal coolant slot channels, they transmit clamping force uniformly from holder set screws down to the tool shank, ensuring exceptional concentricity, rigid retention, and chatter-free internal turning.
