42123-1 TAPMATICATTACHMENT& TORQUEARM ASS’Y
OPERATORINSTRUCTIONS
It is extremely IMPORTANTthat a short arm (such as furnished) be employed with the tapping attachment to assure the best performance of the planetary gear reversing mechanism.
Beforeinstalling the tapping attachment, thoroughly clean the machine spindle. Insert the desired tap into the tap chuck of the attachment so the back jaws will engage the square of the tap. Tighten chuck nut first, then tighten back jaws. This will assure true running of the tap. Thetapping attachment incorporates a spring loaded clutch. Driving torque adjustment is made by tightening or loosening the knurled clutch adjusting cap (42125). When the desired torque has been determined, the cap may be locked in place by tightening set screw (42920). The proper clutch adjusting procedure, when beginning tapping operation, is to loosen adjusting cap until all graduations on housing are visible, then tighten cap progressively until the unit will drive a sharp tap. If a clattering noise is heard during the tapping cycle, it means that the rollers in the units drive spindle have reached a neutral position and are seeking engagement with either the driving or reversing splines. NEVERpermit this clattering to occur, as it will adversely effect the life of the attachment. The correct method of operation is to ad- vance the machine spindle firmly to where the tap enters the hole, the tap then begins to feed itself into the work piece, follow behind with the machine spindle until the desired depth is reached. Lead pressure is not required with this attachment.
The free axial float in the attachment will automatically allow the top to follow its own lead. A SHORT,QUICK,reaction movement of the machine spindle will instantly reversethe top at any time. The tap will return to a
