Accupro QA-2 10 Tapping Adapter Size 10 Tap We 2

Product Description

The ACCUPRO QA-2 #10 is a quick-change tapping adapter designed to connect a size 10 tap to a size 2 adapter holder in CNC and manual tapping operations. It features a tap shank diameter of 0.194 inches and a tap square size of 0.152 inches, allowing secure positive drive engagement with the tap. The adapter has an overall length of 46.00 millimeters and a projection of 0.2756 inches, keeping the tap accurately positioned within the spindle axis. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians install this adapter when setting up tapping cycles that require precise depth control and repeatable chuck engagement.

This tapping adapter is suited for use in machining centers, drill presses, and tapping machines where quick-change tooling systems are in use. The WE 2 series designation identifies the collet interface and ensures the adapter seats correctly within compatible WE 2 quick-change tap holders. It is commonly used in production environments tapping size 10 threaded holes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Coolant-through capability is not available on this adapter, so flood or mist cooling applied externally is the standard approach when cutting fluid is required.

Key Features

• Quick-change interface for fast tap swaps without removing the holder from the spindle
• Tap shank diameter of 0.194 inches with tap square size of 0.152 inches for positive drive
• Projection of 0.2756 inches for controlled tap depth positioning
• Tap depth capacity of 0.6693 inches to accommodate standard threading depths
• WE 2 series collet interface for consistent, repeatable seating
• Lightweight at 0.176 pounds, minimizing added mass on the spindle

Compatibility

Designed for use with WE 2 series quick-change tap holder systems accepting a size 2 adapter and a size 10 tap shank diameter of 0.194 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed with the machine spindle fully stopped and the control placed in a safe state before handling the adapter. Verify the tap shank diameter and square size match this adapter before seating the tap to avoid damage to the drive surfaces. A qualified machinist or toolroom technician should confirm proper adapter engagement and set the tapping depth stop in the machine control before initiating a cycle. Follow the machine manufacturer's tooling torque and setup procedures when securing the holder assembly.
