Accupro QA-1 M14 Tapping Adapter M14 Tap We 1 Series

Product Description

The ACCUPRO QA-1 M14 is a quick-change tapping adapter designed to hold M14 taps in compatible quick-change tap holders. Built to DIN 376 standards, it features an 11 mm tap shank diameter and a 9 mm tap square size, positioning it as a size 1 adapter in the WE 1 series. The adapter provides a projection of 0.2756 inches (7.00 mm) and a tap depth of 0.6693 inches (17.00 mm), giving machinists reliable, repeatable tap engagement in production and job-shop environments. Licensed machinists, toolroom operators, and CNC setup technicians install these adapters as part of organized quick-change tapping systems.

This adapter suits machine tapping operations on machining centers, drill presses, and tapping machines where fast tool changes are required. The WE 1 series sizing is suited for M14 tap applications in both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It is sold individually and is appropriate for high-volume production lines or maintenance shops that tap M14 threads regularly. Coolant-through capability is not included with this adapter, making it best suited for dry or externally applied coolant tapping setups.
