Accupro 587261 Tapping Adapter No 8 Tap Quick-change

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 587261 is a quick-change tapping adapter designed to hold Number 8 taps in a Number 1 adapter body. It features a tap shank diameter of 0.168 inches, providing a secure, repeatable connection between the tap and the tapping head or machine spindle. This adapter is built for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and tapping machines where fast tool changes and accurate tap alignment are required. Machinists and toolroom technicians rely on quick-change adapters like this to reduce setup time and maintain consistent thread quality across production runs.

This adapter is suited for threading operations in light to medium materials where Number 8 taps are commonly used. It fits applications in general machining, production manufacturing, and maintenance shops. The quick-change interface allows the tap to be swapped without removing the adapter body from the spindle, which reduces downtime during high-volume tapping operations. It is sold as a single-piece unit.
