    Yup. I machined it about 5 thou under. Heat it up with a torch and the shank drops right in. Then when the temperature equalizes the sleeve grabs the shank tightly. If you apply heat quickly you can remove the end mill and reuse the sleeve. I've done it with HSK40 shrink fit tool holders as well.
