Viking Tapping Arms

Viking tapping arms are ideal for all general purpose tapping from small to medium size taps in mild steel. The arm is equipped with lubricated-for-life bearings at all the swivel points, provides "weightless" operation, and permits you to bring the tap to the hole with ease. These pneumatic parallel arm tapping tools offer many benefits to make tapping easy.

Features and equipment include:

* Increased efficiency by bringing the tap to the work--utilizing the efficiency of bearings at all swivel points versus positioning a part under a spindle
* Ergonomically correct design absorbs the tapping torque, thus minimizing the exposure to torque reaction--reducing the strain on your hand, wrist, and arm
* Increased productivity with the tapping cycle starting at the correct speed and the ability to go directly to reverse at the desired depth
* Maximum quality--the tap holder floats in the machine, allowing the tap to precisely follow the hole without the influence of the spindle. This produces higher quality threads, that permit less than a quarter turn on a No-Go Gauge
* Prevents broken taps--using an adjustable clutch style tap holder, the clutch built into the tap holder "clicks" when the tap bottoms, hits interference, or begins to dull. At bottoming or in case of an obstruction, the operator simply reverses the motor and backs the tap out of the hole. In the case of a dull tap, the operator simply changes to a new tap.
