Accupro QA-2/K 5/8 Tapping Adapter 5/8 in Tap We 2 Kp

Product Description

The ACCUPRO QA-2/K 5/8 is a quick-change tapping adapter designed for use with 5/8 inch taps in CNC and manual tapping operations. It accepts a tap shank diameter of 0.48 inches and accommodates a tap square size of 0.36 inches, making it a precise fit for standard Size 2 tap holders. Through-coolant capability allows cutting fluid to flow directly to the cutting edge, supporting longer tap life and better chip evacuation in deep-hole applications. Part of the WE 2 KP series, this adapter provides reliable torque transfer and repeatable tap engagement for production tapping environments.

This tapping adapter suits metalworking operations in job shops, production machining facilities, and toolrooms where quick-change tooling systems are in use. It is appropriate for applications on machining centers and drill presses where consistent tap alignment and coolant delivery are required. The adapter is compatible with Size 2 quick-change tapping systems and is commonly installed by CNC machinists and tooling setup technicians working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• Quick-change design for fast tap changeovers without removing the holder from the spindle
• Through-coolant construction directs fluid to the cutting zone for improved tap life
• Tap shank diameter of 0.48 inches with tap square size of 0.36 inches for secure drive engagement
• Overall length of 40.00 mm with a projection of 0.4330 inches (11.00 mm) for controlled reach
• Flange diameter of 48.00 mm with outside shank diameter of 31.00 mm for stable chuck retention
• WE 2 KP series construction for compatibility within standardized quick-change tapping systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with Size 2 quick-change tapping systems in the WE 2 KP series, accepting taps with a 5/8 inch tap size, 0.48 inch shank diameter, and 0.36 inch square drive.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician familiar with quick-change tapping systems. Ensure the machine spindle is powered down and fully stopped before mounting or removing the adapter. Verify tap shank diameter and square size match the adapter specifications before seating the tap to avoid misalignment or drive slippage. Confirm through-coolant lines are clear and properly connected before initiating a tapping cycle.
