Abstract

This invention provides a drill changing device for a drilling machine in which a collar is provided on the shank of a drill at a predetermined location relative to the tip of the drill, the collar being frictionally gripped by a split sleeve so that the shank projects outwardly from the sleeve, the sleeve being slidable relative to a fixed support and normally biased against a shoulder on the support, allowing overtravel when the collet of a drilling machine engages the collar and receives the shank. The tip of the drill is at a predetermined position relative to the collet when the collet engages the collar so that the drill will effect proper penetration of the workpiece in a drilling operation.
