Fiam tappers:
quickness and efficacy
in every work situation
Air tappers are the best solution for manual machine tapping, being fast to use and easy to
handle, even when high quality standards are required.
Fiam tappers combine an excellent power to weight ratio with tremendous ease of
handling and versatility, making them the perfect answer to every work situation; they
are also ideal when threaded inserts or stud bolts are used in assembly (for example in
the furniture industry or the automotive sector generally).
Fiam’s range offers a choice of tappers all of which are reversible and available with straight or pistol grip.
According to the different work situations one can choose one of the solutions described below; these tools are fitted with a
quick-change chuck which makes it easy to change the holder.
Every tap size required should be used with the corresponding tap holder, keeping in mind the size of the shank of the tap
and the square drive (see page 10).
• Tappers with chuck for tap holder
Models: MAS..., MASE...P, MAY..., MAY...P, MAO...P
The taps allowing a limited clearance between tap and chuck, support manual applications where the operator considers it
wise that the tap is self-centered on the hole to be tapped.
• Tappers with chuck for high-precision tap holder
Models: MAS...B, MASE...PB, MAY...B, MAY...PB
The high-precision tap holders used in these tappers assure that the tap turns perfectly centered in relation to the tool: a
solution which should therefore be chosen when very high tapping quality is required and when the tapper is mounted in a
tapping machine or pantograph arms.
