And We've Turned Them Into Better Tools For You.

Tapmatic has specialized in the development and production of tap drivers and self-reversing tapping attachments from its outset in 1952. 48 years of experience and close cooperation with our customers resulted in the Constant Speed Tapping system. The Fastest Way To Tap On Any Machine.

Our new RDT self-reversing tapping heads represent 5 years of real world experience in high production tapping with the highest speeds, the toughest materials- exotics, stainless, high silicon aluminum, deep blind holes with small roll form taps, adverse coolant conditions, etc.

These new units produce faster cycle times, prevent external coolant entry, eliminate rust and corrosion problems, feature new planetary gears for simple programming- (100% feed rate in and out) and new balanced internal coolant system for maximum flow without seals. And, of course, CST for maximum tap life.

Today, the only alternative to Constant Speed Tapping is synchronous feed tapping, a system designed around machine reversal, which requires the machine to reduce RPM as the synchronized feed rate is slowing down near the end of the stroke. Every machinist knows reducing RPM in the middle of a cut is bad for tool life.

Synchronous feed also takes much more time especially since it requires 2 machine reversals for each tapped hole. Televised tests prove that Tapmatic's CST system taps twice as fast as the new full sized machining centers using synchronous feed at the same RPM. Ask for your FREE copy of the Tapmatic "Tapping 2000" video. You'll see that synchronous feed programming does not deliver the RPM it promises on the screen. Only CST does and...

CST Tapping Heads Take A Big Load Off The Machine.

Energy Consumption Comparison Test: Tap (144) 5/16" Holes Results: Tapmatic RDT uses 1/4th the energy of machine reversal and eliminates related machine wear and tear.

CST is a modular system that allows Tapmatic to assemble a special tool to meet the manufacturers' specific requirements whether they be hard to reach holes, misalignment problems, precise thread depth or- You Tell Us at 800/854-6019.
