Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
A drift is a tool used to withdraw a drill from the sleeve or spindle in drilling machines.

It is a tapered, flat, and elongated tool that fits into the slot provided in the drill sleeve or spindle.

When inserted and struck with a hammer, it forces the drill or taper shank tool out of the spindle or sleeve.

Drifts are commonly used in machines like drill presses, lathes, and milling machines where taper shank tools are used.

This tool ensures easy and safe removal of drills without causing damage to the spindle or tool.
