Instructions for
FAST TAP
Reversible Air Motors
Be sure to Lubricate
All XYZ Fast Tap air tools are manufactured to extremely close tolerances.
Reasonable care and preventative maintenance will greatly prolong their service life.
This line of tools is designed for a long life of continuous duty on assembly lines, with
a minimum of service and maintenance. Rotating parts are mounted on extracapacity ball bearings, rotors and spindles are finished to extreme accuracy for
power and low air consumption, gears and pinions are oversize and correctly
hardened for quietness and long life.
Special attention has been given to ease of servicing. These tools can be
disassembled and reassembled with ease.
Before connecting the tool, blow the air line to remove water and dirt which may have
accumulated. This is especially important for a new line or when the line has not
been used for some time.
Gears
The gears are lubricated at the factory. Every 100 hours of operation add ¼oz gear
grease.
Operation
The air motor is started by depressing the operating lever or trigger. Motor speed
may be controlled by adjusting the slotted head control which is located on the tool
housing or on some models on the trigger surface.
If the tool is equipped with a reversing button, always depress the button fully to
obtain maximum power.
Air supply hose should not be less than 3/8” I.D. If extension hose is necessary, use
½” I.D. hose, with couplings not less than 3/8 I.D.
Safety Precautions
1. Keep Work Area Clean: Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
2. Wear Proper Apparel: No loose clothing or jewellery to get caught in moving
parts.
3. Use Safety Glasses: Protect your eyes.
4. Secure Work: Use clamps or a vice to hold work. Its safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate the equipment.
5. Don’t Overreach: Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
6. Maintain Tools With Care: Keep tools sharp and clean for best safety and
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
7. Disconnect Tools: When not in use, before servicing, when changing
accessories such as blades and bits etc.
8. Remove Adjusting Keys and Wrenches: Form a habit of checking to see
that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before use.
9. Caution: The use of an accessory with this tool not provided or
specified by XYZ Machine Tools may be hazardous, and will result of
cancellation of warranty.
Automatic Mist Lubricator
An automatic must lubricator supplies oil to the air
motors. The oil should be checked daily and kept
topped up to the level using replacement oil
shown in the table below.
When used, adjust lubricator to deliver as follows:
Fast Tap Models 1000, 800, 400
2 to 4 drops of Pneumatic Air Tool Oil to tool per
minute.
Fast Tap Models 200, 90
60 to 76 drops of Pneumatic Air Tool Oil to tool
per minute.

Air Connection
The RPM and capacity of the air motors are related to
the air pressure and to the available volume. It is
important that hoses with as large a bore as possible
are used and that the XYZ Tapping Machine is placed
near the main supply pipe. The inner diameter of the
hose connection should not be less than 3/8”.
The machine is packaged with the regulator end of the
air supply tube unattached. This is done to protect the
tube and the finish of the arms during shipping.
Completing the connection is a simple matter. Press the tube into the quick connect
coupler. Press firmly past the first step, inserting the tube 3/8 of an inch. To remove
the tube from either coupler, press down on the locking ring and withdraw the tube.
Operation of XYZ Fast Tap Machines
Air Motors
By depressing the lever at the front of the air motor Forward Motion is started. By
keeping this lever depressed and operating the button opposite to the lever Reverse
Motion is started. If the lever is depressed and the button operated on and off, both
forward and reverse motions are available.
Speed control is possible by using both the lever and the button. This will reduce the
RPM when trying out tapping and cutting in new and difficult materials.
Parallel Arms
The Pantographic and perpendicular characteristics of the XYZ Fast Tap arms
ensure that the tap or other tools are presented at right angles to the work piece over
the working radius of the machine arms.
These arms are finely balanced and little effort is required to position or hold the arm
unit in position. The operator should not force the tap into the work piece or assist in
the withdrawal of it. The tap should be allowed to find its own entry and cut and
withdraw naturally without the assistance of the operator. The pitch of the tap
determines the feed both when going down and back up. This was the tap will selfcentre itself in the hole and produce the thread hole as intended. The operator can
operate the machine with little effort.
Positioning of the arm over the work piece is
gained by use of the corner bracket and angle
of the arm, but generally an angle of 75
degrees is the normal position at which the
arm is best balanced for maximum operator
convenience. Avoid working continuously in
positions lower than 18 inches below the table
surface.
Adjusting the Balance of the Arms
The balance is controlled with 2 gas shocks with adjustable fastening. Turn the
Adjustment Screws in or out. See above diagram.
XYZ Fast Tap Applications
The XYZ Fast Tap is generally designed to produce tapped holes in a variety of
materials and locations and improving production time while reducing tap breakage
and wear etc. The XYZ Fast Tap have other applications, some of which are
described below.
Counter Sinking
The XYZ Fast Tap is excellent for this type of work. The positioning between several
holes is extremely fast and much time can be saved by taking these operations away
from conventional drilling or CNC machines.
