MCC Tension Compression Tap Holder 2T-3SR | Orientation: Axial

Used in CNC machining centers and vertical mills where controlled thread engagement is critical, this MCC CAT40 tension and compression tap holder is marked with the designation 2T-3SR on the collet body along with serial number 21372. The assembly features a CAT40 V-flange taper shank with a standard 5/8-11 drawbar thread and a retention knob already installed. The floating head design allows the collet body to move axially under both tension and compression, compensating automatically for minor differences between machine feed rate and tap pitch. This characteristic reduces the risk of tap breakage and thread damage during rigid tapping cycles. The collet nut and body are machined steel with a precision-ground bore. The assembly includes a coolant inlet fitting visible on the collet body, indicating it is configured for external coolant delivery. The 2T-3SR collet body accepts Series 3 tap collets, which are a widely used quick-change format compatible with collets from multiple manufacturers including Command, Bilz, and equivalent series. The taper shank and flange show surface oxidation consistent with shop use and storage. The item ships as shown, consisting of the CAT40 shank body, floating collet head, and installed tap with collet; the tap and collet shown are included as photographed.
