Tailstock shaft with thread for STRATOS XL / TWISTER XL collar

The XL lathe's tailstock quick change system allows the use of a drill spindle with a high quality ER25 collet system. This means that drill bits can be clamped directly and precisely in the appropriate ER25 collet, without using a separate chuck and without losing center width when drilling.

ER25 collets are extremely precise and have proven themselves for years in both carpentry and, above all, metalworking. The trapezoidal threaded spindle for adjusting the shank on the lathe guarantees smooth and fast feed, which is an additional advantage for the system.

The tailstock axis has a travel of 150 (!) mm and is equipped with a scale.

ATTENTION! This ER25 drill spindle only fits DRECHSELMEISTER STRATOS XL models from year 2017/09 and TWISTER XL models from year 2022. From this moment on, the lathe is already equipped with an interchangeable shank and a trapezoidal thread spindle.

Retrofit kit for older models

For the models listed above before the specified year of manufacture, upgrade kits are available to replace the built-in MK2 fine thread with an MK2 trapezoidal thread spindle. Your lathe will also be compatible with the ER25 tailstock drilling pen.
