Accupro QA-2 M12 Tapping Adapter M12 Tap Series We 2

Product Description

The ACCUPRO QA-2 M12 is a quick-change tapping adapter designed to hold M12 taps in compatible tapping heads and drilling machines. It accepts taps with a 9 mm shank diameter and a 7 mm square drive size, conforming to DIN 376 standards. The adapter has an overall length of 46 mm and a projection of 11 mm, providing consistent tap positioning during threading operations. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians use this adapter where repeatable, accurate tap engagement is required in production or maintenance environments. Coolant-through is not supported on this model.

This tapping adapter is suited for use on vertical machining centers, tapping machines, and drill presses equipped with quick-change tooling systems. It is designed for applications requiring M12 thread production in metal workpieces. The Series WE 2 designation corresponds to a specific quick-change tapping system family, and the adapter is sold individually as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with quick-change tapping tooling systems. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and de-energized before mounting or removing the adapter. Verify that the tap shank and square dimensions match the adapter specifications before seating the tap to avoid misalignment or damage. Consult the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for torque and speed settings appropriate to M12 threading operations.
