Sensitive Drill Attachment for Lathe Machines

In precision machining and metalworking, maintaining drill accuracy while preventing drill breakage is one of the biggest challenges, especially during micro drilling and delicate tapping operations. A Sensitive Drill Attachment is specially designed to provide controlled feed pressure, smoother drilling action, and improved operator control for high-precision work.

Whether you are working on a lathe machine, drilling machine, or precision workshop setup, Sensitive Drill Attachments help achieve cleaner holes, reduced tool wear, and better productivity. These attachments are widely used in engineering workshops, tool rooms, manufacturing industries, and precision machining applications.

The following variants are commonly used for different drill chuck taper requirements:

  • MT2 Sensitive Drilling Attachment with JT2 Taper
  • MT2 Sensitive Drilling Attachment with B12 Taper
  • MT2 Sensitive Drilling Attachment with B16 Taper
  • MT2 Sensitive Drilling Attachment with B18 Taper

What is a Sensitive Drill Attachment?

A Sensitive Drill Attachment is a precision drilling accessory designed to provide fine manual feed control during drilling operations. It allows the operator to feel the cutting pressure directly, reducing the risk of drill damage and improving hole quality.

These tools are especially useful for:

✔ Micro drilling
✔ Precision tapping
✔ Fine feed drilling
✔ Small diameter hole operations
✔ Delicate engineering applications
✔ Thin material drilling

The spring-loaded sensitive feed mechanism ensures smooth drilling action while minimizing excessive pressure on the drill bit.
