Drill Press and Milling Machine Attachments

AutoDrill can often turn your simple drill press, Bridgeport style milling machine or other conventional drive into a single or multiple hole tapping machine. Important details to consider are whether the drill press or milling machine has enough horsepower to perform the process, whether your part fits on the table, can you fit your clamping mechanism in the available space, etc. While most machines can be fitted with a tapping head or multiple spindle tapping head, some units can automatically reverse rotation. These devices allow for a more automated approach to tapping single or multiple locations. It does not matter if your machine is simple or high end, we can often convert it into a tapping device. Drill press tapping heads have been provided to customers with as many as a dozen spindles. Let us know what your need is and we will try to match the perfect options up for you.

CNC Aggregate Heads

AutoDrill provides multiple spindle tapping heads for CNC machines. whether it is a CATxx, BTxx or other custom drive machine, we can often provide a head to meet your exact needs. While multiple spindle head offerings are the most common, right angle or even dual direction heads are available.

For those with dedicated CNC tapping machines, we offer securely mounted, manually loaded quill clamp adapters. This type of head and adapter firmly attaches to your machine’s quill or spindle cartridge and offers the ultimate mount option.
