Product Description
CMT Drill Adapter for Vitap Boring Machines - 10mm Shank, 18mm Length, RH-LH Rotation by CMT is purpose-built for Vitap machines equipped with a quick drill change attachment. This adapter bridges the gap between standard drill shanks and Vitap spindle systems, allowing woodworking professionals to swap dowel drills quickly and efficiently without interrupting production. Whether you are running multi-spindle boring operations on chipboard, MDF, hardwood, or plywood, this adapter keeps your Vitap machine performing at its best with a secure, accurately sized fit.
Key Features
- Designed specifically for Vitap machines with quick drill change attachment - enables fast, tool-free drill swaps that reduce downtime on the boring line.
- Right-hand and left-hand (RH-LH) rotation compatibility - a single adapter works across both spindle rotation directions, simplifying your tooling inventory.
- 10mm bore diameter - matches the standard 10mm shank used by dowel drills commonly paired with Vitap boring machines, ensuring a snug and concentric fit.
- 18mm adapter length with 17.5mm small diameter - compact profile keeps the drill close to the spindle face, improving rigidity and boring accuracy.
Why This Product
- If your Vitap boring machine uses a quick drill change system, this adapter is the direct-fit solution - it is engineered to the exact dimensions (18mm x 17.5mm x 10mm) required by that attachment interface, eliminating the need for improvised or mismatched tooling.
- The RH-LH rotation rating means this one adapter accommodates both clockwise and counterclockwise spindle positions on multi-spindle heads, reducing the number of different adapter SKUs you need to stock.
- A 10mm bore paired with an 18mm body length provides a compact, rigid mounting point - shorter adapter stacks mean less runout and more accurate hole placement in cabinet and furniture panel drilling applications.
- CMT's adapter carries an active product status, making it a reliable, ongoing tooling component for shops that depend on consistent Vitap drill change system performance over the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which machines is this adapter compatible with?
This adapter is designed for Vitap boring machines that are equipped with a quick drill change attachment. It is not a general-purpose adapter and is intended specifically for that Vitap spindle interface.
What shank size does this adapter accept?
The bore diameter is 10mm (25/64 in.), which corresponds to the standard 10mm shank used by dowel drills on Vitap boring systems. Make sure your drill shanks are 10mm before ordering.
Does this adapter work with both right-hand and left-hand spindles?
Yes. The adapter is rated for RH-LH rotation, meaning it is compatible with both right-hand and left-hand rotating spindles. This makes it suitable for use across the full spindle bank on multi-spindle Vitap heads that include both rotation directions.
What are the key dimensions of this adapter?
The adapter has an outer diameter of 18mm (23/32 in.), a small diameter of 17.5mm, and a bore diameter of 10mm (25/64 in.). These three dimensions define the fit within the Vitap quick drill change attachment and the drill shank it accepts.
