Vertical Tapping Machine

A machine for drilling, reaming, counterboring, and tapping holes. especially : a power machine for drilling holes in metal (as a drill press or radial Drilling machines and tapping machines are used to drill or thread holes in a surface. Drilling machines and tapping machines vary from the tiny bench machine used in the finest jeweler's operation to the huge, heavy-duty machines that bore large holes in steel forgings at an astonishing rate.Drilling and tapping are two different actions. Drilling refers to creating a smooth hole in a material with a drill and motor. Tapping is the action that creates a thread into the side of the hole. A variety of taps are available to match almost any screw type available, including metric and standard measurements.A tapping machine is a device used to test the impact sound insulation of floors, for measurements of impact noise (noise of footsteps) in the field of building acoustics.A drilling machine is a tool used for drilling holes in various materials, such as metal, ceramic wood, or plastic. It can be either portable or stationary.A tap is used to cut or form the female portion of the mating pair (e.g. a nut). A die is used to cut or form the male portion of the mating pair (e.g. a bolt). The process of cutting or forming threads using a tap is called tapping, whereas the process using a die is called threading.Tapping is an easy, well known and highly efficient manufacturing process. This method offers productive and economical threading, especially for smaller threads, through reduced machine downtime, higher cutting speeds and longer tool life. Forming taps and cutting taps come in different designs.
