Parlec 10-006N Tapping Adapter 1/16 Inch Pipe Numertap 100

Product Description

The PARLEC 10-006N is a quick-change tapping adapter sized for 1/16 inch pipe taps, designed for use in CNC machining and production tapping applications. It accepts taps with a 0.312 inch shank diameter and a 0.234 inch square drive size, providing a secure, repeatable connection between the tap and the toolholder. The adapter is part of the NUMERTAP 100 series, a system built for rigid and floating tapping in high-cycle environments. Machinists and tooling specialists install this adapter to achieve consistent thread quality across production runs.

This adapter is suited for use in vertical and horizontal machining centers where 1/16 inch pipe taps are required. Typical applications include tapping pipe thread ports in fluid power components, manifolds, and pneumatic housings. The quick-change interface allows fast tap swaps without removing the toolholder from the spindle, reducing setup time in high-volume shops. The NUMERTAP 100 series is a common tooling platform in production machining environments that demand accuracy and repeatability.
