Hey guys check it out.

i have a tapmatic model A for sale here. i got it brand new in the box from an old supply house. i tapped two holes and its been sitting in a box since then. these things can save you serious moeny on taps. i know lamont coombs can testify to how nice these things are.
it has the wrenches, allen keys, directions and 4 collets with it. 3 pictured and one still in the tapping head. these guys normally run for like 40 bucks and up a piece for replacements
this machine is comparable to the 30X tapping head ($350+ new)
capacity is from #0-1/2" self reversing 1500 RPM max.

i'm asking $225 plus shipping
paypal or money orders accepted

thanks for looking guys. take care:thumbup:
 
that's what I was wondering -- I'm getting real tired of breaking taps!
 
Is this thing still available, lol?
Did you ever figure out what taper it had?
Inquiring minds want to know! :D
 
well nick can't do it so i was waiting to hear back from michael kanter

no taper in it right now... i had one in it but i was a cheap one and got messed up. you need to splurge and spend 15 bucks and buy the hardened jacobs brand ones :o

i'll keep you guys updated
 
i have no clue on the taper size for the top of the tapmatic head. i could see if i can find the old taper for it. i'll let ya know if i can find it

i measured it but it doesn't seem to match up with what i find for taper charts.... probably just me messing things up. if i remeber correctly it was a #2 jacobs
 
"no taper in it right now"

Hmm, I thought the end was hollow and tapered to fit on the end of your drill press shaft where the chuck goes?
Oohhh, just had a little brain activity and realized it would be better to have a taper in the tapmatic so you wouldn't have to remove the drill chuck every time you wanted to use the thing. Seee warriors, see what you get when you mess with the old forumites!!!! :D
 
Hi Michael,

I'll take it off your hands. Shoot me an email and we can work out payment details. If you need any materials we carry, maybe we can work out a partial trade, or if not, I've got the full amount.

:)
