Reliable Alignment & Secure Tool Seating for Every Operation

Consistency in turning starts with proper fitment. Vertex Lathe Sleeves provide accurate tool or workpiece reduction for lathes, ensuring secure seating, alignment & vibration-free performance. Built from hardened steel & ground for precision, these sleeves maintain true concentricity across every rotation.

Designed for machinists who need flexibility without sacrificing accuracy, the range allows multiple size conversions for both internal & external fits. Whether you’re adapting tool holders, aligning centers or setting up reducing sleeves, Vertex delivers dependable stability & clean engagement on every setup.

Each Vertex Lathe Sleeve is machined to exact tolerances, ensuring a snug, balanced fit between spindle, arbor or workpiece. Hardened for wear resistance & ground on all surfaces, these sleeves prevent slippage, reduce chatter & maintain turning accuracy during high-speed runs.

Perfect for general turning, facing or boring work, these sleeves allow quick taper or diameter conversion between multiple tool sizes. Combine with Lathe Center for precise alignment, use Boring Bars & Holders for deep internal cuts, or set up work using Tool Posts & Accessories for efficient tool changeover.

Protect surfaces with Rust Prevention Sprays & keep bore faces clean using Workshop Cleaning Brushes for long-term precision.
