Quick Change Tapping Chuck (MLC) is specially engineered for synchronized (rigid) tapping cycles on CNC machines. With built-in ±0.5 mm axial compensation, it absorbs minor synchronization errors between spindle speed and feed, ensuring extended tap life, improved thread quality, and reduced flank wear.
Its unibody design ensures high rigidity, and the use of ER Tap Collets offers positive and secure clamping. Precision-ground construction and G2.5 balancing at 25,000 RPM make it suitable for high-speed tapping applications in industries like die & mould, automotive, and general machining.
Available in multiple ER sizes (ER16 to ER40) covering tap sizes M3 to M33, and in all popular taper mountings — BT, BBT, SK, HSK-A, CAT, and Cylindrical Shank — the MLC Tapping Chuck is a robust, reliable solution for your rigid tapping needs.

A tapping chuck is a specialized tool-holding device used for tapping operations, where internal threads are cut into a pre-drilled hole using a tap. It securely holds the tap while compensating for axial and torsional forces during the threading process, improving accuracy, tool life, and safety.
