Centaur 105062 Tapping Adapter 1/8 Inch Ss Pipe CWE1

Product Description

The CENTAUR 105062 is a quick-change tapping adapter designed for use with 1/8 inch stainless steel pipe taps. It accepts a Tap Adapter Size 1 and features a tap shank diameter of 0.313 inches, making it compatible with standard quick-change tooling setups. The outside shank diameter measures 0.75 inches, and the flange diameter is 1.18 inches. Part of the CWE1 series, this adapter is built for use in machine shop and production tapping operations where fast tool changes and consistent tap alignment are required. It does not support coolant-through configurations.

This tapping adapter suits production environments where stainless steel pipe threads need to be cut with precision and repeatability. The quick-change design reduces downtime during tap changes on drill presses, CNC machining centers, or tapping machines. A maximum tap depth of 1.05 inches is supported. The adapter is sold individually and is appropriate for machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with pipe thread applications in light to medium production settings.
