Product Overview
The BIG DAISHOWA MGT20-160120-35 KDCB is a dedicated floating synchro tapping collet adapter from Japan BIG DAISHOWA MEGA Synchro MGT tapping system, also defined as KDCB standard tapping spring collet assembly for MGT20 main tapping holder body. It adopts dual floating axial & radial compensation structure, matched with MGT20 tapping shank holder, clamping taps with shank dimension 16*12mm, 35mm effective extension length. Made of high-strength alloy steel with full quenching and precision slit elastic structure, it eliminates axial thrust generated by spindle tapping synchronization error, reduces tap breakage risk, improves thread finish and tap service life. Widely applied on machining centers for blind hole & through-hole tapping of mold steel, stainless steel, alloy steel and cast iron.

Advantages of BIG DAISHOWA MGT20-160120-35 KDCB Tapping Collet
- Built-in dual synchro floating compensation mechanism: Automatically offset spindle feed rotation synchronization error, drastically cut axial thrust force on tap, extend tap service life by over 3 times compared with ordinary rigid tapping collets
- 35mm slim extended neck design: Ultra-narrow outer profile avoids workpiece sidewall collision, solves deep confined cavity tapping interference problems
- 16*12 standard tap shank matching size: Universal interchangeable with all M12-M20 standard machine taps on the market
- Multi-slit elastic alloy steel body: Uniform circumferential clamping force without tap shank deformation, stable concentricity during high-speed tapping
- Black anti-corrosion oxidation surface coating: Resists long-term coolant erosion, maintains consistent clamping precision under continuous wet cutting
- Exclusive MGT system matching: Perfect concentric fit with CKB5-MGT20 main tapping holder, no secondary runout loss after assembly, compatible with high-speed synchronous tapping function machining centers
