Floating Tap Holder Simple model without length compensation. Relatively short design. Owing to the fact that this tap holder does not have a length compensation, it is necessary to make sure that the thread tapping cycle is cut "synchronically", e. g. over a leading spindle. The floating tap holder type is in the family of quick-change tap holders utilizing the tap adapters. The holder has no length compensating features, and the feed must therefore be controlled synchronously, i. e. by a lead screw. The new innovative ball-floating system provides an axial parallel floating motion, and allows for tapping in less then ideal conditions, where the floating tap holder will seek to compensate for: Misalignment between tap hole and spindle.
