It accepts taps ranging from M1 to M14 (up to 9\/16 inch), delivering controlled float in both tension and compression to protect tap life and thread quality. The chuck features a quick-change interface with a Size 1 tap adapter, a projection of 2.96 inches, and a nose diameter of 1.42 inches. Tension and compression travel each measure 0.59 inches. This tool is installed by machinists and tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tapping chuck is suited for vertical and horizontal machining centers running CAT40 spindles. It is used in applications requiring accurate thread production in a wide range of tap sizes, from small-diameter M1 taps through medium-duty M14 taps. The quick-change design allows fast tap swaps during production runs. The 3\/4 inch (0.75 inch) hole diameter accommodates standard tap adapter shanks. It is appropriate for both ferrous and non-ferrous tapping applications where spindle reversal or rigid tapping compensation is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTension and compression float of 0.59 inches each to compensate for feed rate variation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCAT40 taper shank for direct mounting to CAT40 spindle machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick-change interface for fast tap adapter swaps without removing the chuck body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize 1 tap adapter compatibility covering M1 to M14 tap capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProjection of 2.96 inches for reach into deep features or fixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose diameter of 1.42 inches with a 0.75 inch hole diameter for standard adapter shanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with CAT40 spindle machining centers using a Size 1 tap adapter.
