Accupro 587052 Tapping Adapter No 6 Tap Quick Change

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 587052 is a quick-change tapping adapter designed to hold No. 6 taps in No. 1 adapter-size tooling systems. With a tap shank diameter of 0.141 inches, this adapter provides a secure, repeatable connection between the tap and the machine spindle. It is used in tapping operations on drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual tapping machines where fast tool changes and consistent tap alignment are required. Machinists and toolroom technicians rely on this style of adapter to reduce setup time and maintain thread quality across production runs.

This adapter is suited for light-duty tapping applications using No. 6 taps in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It is commonly used in job shops, production machining environments, and maintenance facilities where multiple tap sizes must be cycled quickly through a No. 1 quick-change system. The quick-change design allows the operator to swap taps without removing the entire toolholder from the spindle, supporting higher throughput on repetitive threading operations.

Key Features

• Quick-change design enables fast tap swaps without full spindle teardown
• Tap shank diameter of 0.141 inches for consistent, secure tap retention
• Compatible with No. 1 tapping adapter size tooling systems
• Sized for No. 6 taps across a range of thread pitches
• Compact, single-unit construction for reliable repeatable alignment

Compatibility

Designed for use with No. 1 quick-change tapping adapter systems accepting taps with a 0.141 inch shank diameter. No additional compatible model numbers or system families were specified in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by trained machinists or toolroom technicians familiar with quick-change tapping systems. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all energy is isolated before installing or removing the adapter. Verify that the tap shank diameter matches the adapter bore before seating the tap to avoid damage to the toolholder or tap breakage during operation. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting up tapping operations.
