Tap extensions

Look for "Ritmar Extentions". Use them since the '80's

We did to, but they're out of business now. Whitney Tool are the same style, but not the same quality to me. That's why we started using Emuge. Need something smaller in diameter short of making what we need.

Ive run the tap associates ones a lot. Way simple. The only thing is they kid of require a bit of "feel" to get the tap seated tight, but not too tight.

Way nice for reaching down past shoulders, etc.

How do they actually hold the tap? There's no taper to seat against and no grub screws, do the taps have a light press fit or something? Really curious.

No problems with tap pulling out or slipping?

Thanks.

They actually have a taper machined (or edm'd) into where the square fits into the socket.

When we first stared using them, we did have a couple fall out. We just weren't seating them hard enough. We have them on a robodrill that has done thousands of holes, no problems. No issues running them in high production.
