Accupro 587060 Tapping Adapter 1/4 Inch Quick-change

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 587060 is a quick-change tapping adapter designed to hold and drive taps in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and tapping machines. It accepts a 1/4 inch tap size with a tap shank diameter of 0.255 inches and is sized as a No. 1 tap adapter. The quick-change feature allows the operator to swap taps without removing the holder from the spindle, reducing setup time in production tapping operations. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this adapter in applications where accurate thread cutting and repeatable tap positioning are required.

This adapter is suited for use in light-duty to medium-duty tapping operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It is compatible with quick-change tapping systems that accept a No. 1 adapter size. Typical installation environments include machine shops, production facilities, and maintenance departments where 1/4 inch tapping is performed with powered or CNC-controlled equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Ensure the spindle and tapping machine are fully powered down and at rest before inserting or removing the adapter. Verify that the tap shank diameter matches the collet or chuck specification of the tapping head before seating the adapter. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines for torque limits and tap engagement depth to prevent tap breakage.
