Speedaire 4WXT7 air tapping tool is perfect for tapping beams, blocks and other large castings. It is primarily used in the automotive and aerospace industries. This air tapping tool enables rapid and accurate tapping of holes. As a result, it helps users reduce overall production time.

Working Mechanism:

• Bring the hand tapper close to the hole you want to tap.
• Position the tip of the tap onto the hole and push down the operating lever to move it forward (F).
• The tap will centre itself and start cutting threads into the hole. Let the tapper guide the tap into the hole smoothly.
• Control the speed by pushing down the lever. Remember, pushing it harder for more speed might reduce the power.
• To avoid breaking the tap, keep the tool steady. Hold the grip firmly with your left hand and your left elbow supported on the workpiece.
• Then, use your right hand to pull the lever. This method helps prevent tipping and reduces the risk of tap breakage.
• Once you have tapped to the desired depth, push the lever to reverse (R). The tap will back out of the hole.
• If you hear clicking or ratcheting noises from the tap holder, it might need adjustment.
