But the thing is, knowing the limitations of such use and basically not trying to push it through too fast. haven't had any problems thus far, but it's not a regular occurrence and I don't expect to drill double the size hole, about 1-3/8" in a piece of cast iron is as big that I have done. Regards Nick.

In fact my extension sleeve is used very occasionally to give an extra 15-20mm reach, typically for a small centre drill, and with the tailstock barrel almost fully retracted. So the net extra extension is very little, but in my case valuable for this particular circumstance.
