Vertex INT-13-R8 integrated self-tightening drill chuck, R8 taper, 50 mm capacity

The INT-13-R8 is an integrated, self-tightening drill chuck designed for R8-spindle machines, providing secure clamping for drill shanks up to 50 mm.

• Integrated self-tightening mechanism
• R8 taper for standard spindle mounts
• 50 mm maximum drill capacity
• Robust 1.5 kg workshop construction

Consistent clamping for reliable machining results

The integrated self-tightening jaw system converts rotational torque into increased clamping force, delivering steady retention throughout each cut. This behaviour maintains concentricity and reduces runout compared with conventional chucks where manual tightening is the only securing action. With a 50 mm maximum capacity and an R8 taper, the chuck is suitable for a wide range of tool diameters commonly used in toolrooms and small production setups. The result is improved process reliability and fewer rejected parts, which supports higher first-pass yields and predictable cycle times.

Built for workshop use and straightforward handling

Constructed for daily operation, the chuck’s overall design balances secure clamping with manageable mass: at 1.5 kg it is stable in the spindle without adding excessive inertia. The integrated configuration removes the need for additional adaptors, simplifying mounting and reducing possible misalignment points. Routine care consists of cleaning and light lubrication of moving surfaces to sustain smooth jaw movement; this keeps maintenance straightforward and supports long service intervals. Durable build quality minimises wear in demanding environments and contributes to a longer operational lifetime.

Broad compatibility and practical application in machining

Engineered for machines that accept the R8 taper, the chuck adapts to conventional milling spindles and toolroom equipment where precision drilling is required. Its integrated nature means straightforward replacement or retrofit where spindle taper and shank compatibility are confirmed. The compact footprint and robust clamping make it suitable for drilling, reaming and similar axial operations where reliable tool retention and repeatable positioning are priorities.
