1071 forum posts	In over 60 years around metalworking I have never seen an extension socket without a tang. You could cut the tang off, drill and tap for drawbar threads. How will the tool be retained in the socket?

2549 forum posts 235 photos	Could you drill a clearance hole through the extension and use an extended drawbar to pull the tool and extension together into the lathe? An extended drawbar should be easy to make. Martin

You'd have to be careful drilling a clearance hole through the extension, mind. You'd probably want to drill from the male taper end otherwise you'd be trying to open up a tang slot into a bore, buried at the bottom of the taper cavity...
