A drift is used for :

  • A.Drawing drill location
  • B.Removing broken drill from work
  • C.Removing the drill from machine spindle
  • D.Fixing chuck on machine spindle

Answer: C

A drift is used for removing the drill from the machine spindle.

A taper-shank drill or sleeve is held in the spindle's Morse taper by friction. The drift is a flat, tapered steel wedge pushed through the slot in the spindle so that it bears on the tang and forces the taper shank out.

Marking drill locations is done with a scriber and centre punch. Removing a broken drill from work needs an extractor or other method. A chuck is fitted on its arbor by pressing the tapers together, not with a drift.
