What is an ER Floating Tap Collet?

ER Floating Tap Collets are designed to compensate for minor alignment errors and allow axial float during tapping, reducing thread distortion. Learn more at pactoolsusa.com.

When should I use floating tap collets?

Use them when rigid tapping is not available or when working with manual feed systems, ensuring smoother thread cutting. Explore use cases at pactoolsusa.com.

Are floating tap collets compatible with ER holders?

Yes, they work with compatible ER holders designed for tapping, and include square drive support for taps. See compatibility at pactoolsusa.com.

What are the benefits over rigid tap collets?

They reduce tap breakage and compensate for feed/speed mismatches by allowing slight axial movement. Performance details available at pactoolsusa.com.

How should I maintain floating tap collets?

Keep them clean, check for spring tension and smooth float action, and store dry to avoid corrosion. Maintenance info at pactoolsusa.com.
