HP3 drill chucks extend tool life

 

What to look for in a drill chuck:

  • High holding power.
  • Low T.I.R - 0.0008"
  • Balanced for high speed
  • One-piece design
  • Toolholder taper ground to AT3 or better.

HP3 Drill Chuck Advantages:

  • Flexibility (allows you to run non-standard shank sizes
  • No need to buy collets and nuts
  • Fast and easy tool changes

HP3 Chuck Disadvantages:

  • Low holding power compared to other tool holder styles
  • Not suited for machining operations other than drilling

Drill Chuck Maintenance:

  • Keep chuck, toolholder taper, spindle taper, and drills clean. Dirt causes premature wear.
