TAPPING UNITS:

 

The self-feed AutoTap is based on the standard AutoDrill with the addition of a self-reversing tapping head.  This allows a single unit to be used for both drilling and tapping.  The AutoTap is capable of any thread configuration within its capacity range. This keeps the cost reasonable.  No longer is it necessary to have an individual lead screw for each thread pitch. All self-feed AutoTaps have these outstanding features:

  • Positive forward and reverse drive
  • Entry cushion for reliable work contact and elimination of cross threading on rethreading operations
  • Three models that can handle #6 through 5/8" capacity
  • Operator tool package included
  • Available with rubber-flex collet as standard or with options quick change spindle
  • Rubber-flex collet provided with the unit as standard
  •  Short stroke self-feed compensates for minor feed errors
  • Factory assembled and tested
