Capacity and Use
The B-101 Drilling and Tapping
Machine drills and taps mains, and
inserts stops, tees or plugs into
the tapped hole in the main under
pressure.
The B-101 machine has a special
mechanism that permits the boring
bar to be locked to the feed nut
and yoke to prevent the drill from
spiraling into the hole before the hole
is completely drilled. It also prevents
the drill from dropping to the threaded
section of the combined drill and tap.
This design eliminates unnecessary
tool damage and is recommended for
low pressure drillings.
Tools and equipment for the B-101
and earlier B-100 machines are the
same.
