Accupro QA-1/K 10 Tapping Adapter Size 10 Tap We 1 Kp

Product Description

The ACCUPRO QA-1/K #10 is a quick-change tapping adapter designed for use with size 10 taps in machine tool tapping applications. It accepts a tap shank diameter of 0.194 inches and a tap square size of 0.152 inches, providing a secure, repeatable connection between the tap and the toolholder. The adapter features through-coolant capability, directing coolant directly to the cutting zone to improve chip evacuation and extend tap life during production tapping operations. It is part of the WE 1 KP series and is installed and serviced by machinists and toolroom technicians.

This adapter is suited for CNC machining centers, tapping machines, and turret lathes performing threaded hole operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The quick-change interface allows fast tap swaps without removing the entire toolholder from the spindle, making it well suited for high-mix production environments where multiple tap sizes are run in a single setup. The overall length is 1.004 inches (25.50 mm) and the projection measures 0.276 inches (7.01 mm).

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tapping unit is powered down before mounting or removing the adapter. Verify that the tap shank and square dimensions match the adapter specifications before seating the tap to avoid drive damage. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines for coolant pressure limits when operating with through-coolant enabled.
