Cut internal threads without stopping your machine—these tapping heads reverse nearly twice as fast as they cut so you can move to your next hole faster. When you lift the quill, they automatically back the tap out, which also helps reduce wear on your machine and taps. A built-in ball clutch lets you set the torque for your tap size and workpiece material, keeping threads clean and preventing tap breakage. Mount them to a Jacobs taper arbor on manual mills and drill presses. Add a stop bar to your setup if you can’t brace the stop arm on your machine.

Choose your tapping head based on your tap size and maximum speed. For small holes and soft material, select a head that runs at higher speeds. For large holes and hard material, select a head with a larger tap size since they generate greater torque.

Collets (sold separately) are required to connect Tapmatic tapping heads to your tap.

Quickly cut internal threads without stopping your Morse taper drill press or manual mill. These tapping heads reverse twice as fast as they cut, so you can move to your next hole faster. When you lift the quill, they automatically back the tap out, which also helps reduce wear on your machine and taps. A cone clutch system with a tactile stop lets you feel when the tap reaches the bottom of the hole, preventing your taps from breaking in blind holes. These tapping heads are set up for right-hand tapping but can be reconfigured for left-hand tapping. Add a stop bar to your setup if you can’t brace the stop arm on your machine.

Collets (sold separately) are required to connect your tap to these tapping heads.

For clean, consistent threads as your tap backs out of a hole, these bars brace your tapping head's stop arm so it can't spin freely. Mount them to your machine’s quill or to a T-slot table. Keep in mind, your setup should be strong enough to handle your tapping head's maximum rated torque.

Quill mount bars clamp tightly around your spindle sleeve or quill.

T-slot mount bars use your machine table's slots as a rigid base. If the included nut doesn’t fit the slots in your table, choose from our other T-slot nuts.

Hold quick-change tap collets on CAT taper CNC machines capable of rigid tapping. These holders are rigid, so they move your tap in perfect sync with your machine's spindle speed and feed rate without any flex or compensation.

The hardened steel shank resists wear. It’s also precision ground to the industry standard AT3 tolerance for a secure fit that minimizes runout in your machine spindle. They meet ANSI/ASME standards for CAT spindles to ensure compatibility. They have a threaded hole that accepts retention knobs, so they connect to your machine’s drawbar system.

Use these holders with tang-drive quick-change tap collets (also known as Bilz-style tap adapters) to swap taps in seconds and limit machine downtime. They are not compatible with ball-drive quick-change tap collets or quick-change tap collets with torque control.

For the best performance, select a quick-change collet size that places your tap near the middle of the listed tap size range.

Hold quick-change tap collets on CNC lathes and mills with rigid tapping capabilities. You can mount them directly to your machine's straight spindle or use another tool holder, such as an end mill holder. They're rigid, so they move your tap in perfect sync with your machine's spindle speed and feed rate without any flex or compensation. The hardened steel shank resists wear. It’s also precision ground for a secure fit that minimizes runout in your machine spindle.

Hold quick-change tap collets on BT taper CNC machines capable of rigid tapping. These holders are rigid, so they move your tap in perfect sync with your machine's spindle speed and feed rate without any flex or compensation.

The hardened steel shank resists wear. It’s also precision ground to the industry standard AT3 tolerance for a secure fit that minimizes runout in your machine spindle. They meet JIS standards for BT spindles to ensure compatibility. They have a threaded hole that accepts retention knobs, so they connect to your machine’s drawbar system.

Reduce stress on taps to produce clean, accurate threads. These holders work with BT taper CNC machines that don’t support rigid tapping. Also called tension and compression tap holders, they compress as the tap enters material and extend as it backs out, compensating for small spindle and feed rate mismatches. Not only does this protect the tap but also the threads you just cut. They’re often used when tapping through and blind holes with spiral-point and spiral-flute taps.
