Carbatec 130mm MT2 ER-16 Collet Lathe Forstner Bit Extension

130mm MT2 ER-16 Lathe Extension — Drill Deeper, Straight From Your Tailstock

At last, an extension built specifically for lathe work. The MT2 taper slots directly into your lathe tailstock, so you can skip the drill chuck setup and get boring sooner. You gain 130mm of extra drilling reach, perfect for sinking Forstner bits deep into your turning projects.

The ER16 collet mounting system grips a range of shank sizes with confidence, and it happily accommodates slight tolerance variation thanks to the way collets clamp down. Whether you're hollowing vessels or boring lamp bases, you'll keep your bit steady and true the whole way in.

Key Benefits

• Direct MT2 fitment into your lathe tailstock — no separate drill chuck needed, saving setup time and fuss.
• 130mm of added reach for deeper boring on your turning projects.
• Versatile ER16 collet system that holds 8mm, 10mm, 5/16" and 3/8" shank Forstner bits securely.
• Forgiving collet clamping that accommodates slight manufacturing tolerance variance in your bits.
• Broad bit compatibility with traditional Forstner, Sawtooth, and our Tri-Grind Series Tungsten Forstner bits.
• Expandable reach — pair it with the optional EXTN-ER16 add-on for a combined 280mm of drilling extension.
