Tapping head arbors

Tom Nostrant · Aug 12, 2006

Ok, so I'm not done with my tapping head questions. I am going to power this with a drill press. If the head comes with a 1/2" straight arbor can you just put it in the chuck? Or should I try to figure out what type of taper is in the quill of my old cheap imported Mach1 drill press & get an arbor to match. Or should I buy a small 12" bench top drill press, Delta or Ryobi.

Any advise appreciated,
Tom

Dont you, doesnt everyone, have a drill press with a morse taper spindle that you can shove a Ettco Tapping head into?

An old Ettco could be had for $25 or so...

This one is not complete... it's missing the tap holder

Gary, you must shop in the High-Rent District... I lucked up on a Procunier 3-E, several weeks ago, at a yard sale, for a dollar. It was oily & covered in dust, but seems as tight as a new one... Even had a # 3 to # 4 Morse adaptor on it.
