A drift (commonly known as a drift key or drift wedge) is a specialized tool used for removing taper shank tools, such as drill bits, reamers, or arbors, from the machine spindle or sleeve.
In many machines like drill presses, lathes, and milling machines, tools with a Morse taper are held in the spindle by a self-locking taper fit. Over time, this taper fit may become tight, making manual removal difficult.
· Made from hardened steel for durability.
· Essential for safely removing taper shank tools without damaging the machine spindle or the tool itself.
· Commonly used in workshops, tool rooms, and manufacturing environments.
