BENCH FOR ELECTRIC TAPPING MACHINE

Electric tapping machine bench FERVI M037-B delivers a 900×600 mm work surface at 800 mm height for workshop tapping operations. The steel frame integrates mounting holes for standard tapping machines and three 16 mm T-slots for clamping fixtures. A tool drawer measuring 320×120 mm slides on ball-bearing rails beneath the bench. Four 70 mm diameter wheels comprise two fixed and two swivel casters with foot brakes. Net weight reaches 92.5 kg, ensuring stability during thread cutting and drilling tasks.

Electric tapping machine bench construction and work surface

Bench dimensions and frame

The 900×600 mm top provides ample space for tapping heads and workpieces. Height of 800 mm suits standing operation without excessive bending. Welded steel construction handles continuous machining loads. The flat-ground surface accepts tapping machine bases through pre-drilled mounting holes. Frame rigidity minimizes vibration during high-torque tapping cycles.

• Overall dimensions: 900×600×800h mm
• Work surface: 900×600 mm flat-ground steel
• Welded steel frame construction
• Pre-drilled mounting holes for tapping machines
• Net weight: 92.5 kg
• Gross weight: 103 kg

The substantial mass damps vibration from tapping and drilling. Mounting holes align with common tapping machine footprints. The flat surface ensures accurate machine alignment. Steel construction resists deformation under clamping forces.

T-slot clamping system

Three 16 mm T-slots run lengthwise across the bench top. Standard T-bolts and clamps secure workpieces directly to the surface. Slot spacing accommodates various part sizes without additional fixturing. The T-profile accepts M16 bolts and compatible clamping hardware. Slots extend the full length of the work area for flexible positioning.

• Three T-slots: 16 mm width
• Full-length slots for flexible clamping
• Compatible with M16 T-bolts and clamps
• Parallel slot arrangement

T-slots eliminate the need for drilling clamping holes in the bench. Quick repositioning of clamps speeds setup between jobs. The 16 mm size matches widely available clamping hardware. Parallel slots simplify alignment of rectangular workpieces.

Tool storage drawer

A single drawer measuring 320×120 mm mounts below the work surface. Ball-bearing slides ensure smooth operation even under load. The drawer holds taps, drills, measuring tools and small accessories. Powder-coated steel construction resists workshop fluids and abrasion. The drawer pulls out fully for easy access to contents.

• Drawer dimensions: 320×120 mm
• Ball-bearing slide rails
• Powder-coated steel construction
• Full-extension design

Ball bearings reduce friction and extend drawer life. The drawer keeps frequently used tooling within arm's reach. Powder coating protects against cutting fluids and rust. Full extension allows visibility of all stored items.

Mobility and stability features

Wheel configuration

Four 70 mm diameter wheels support the bench. Two fixed wheels maintain straight-line travel during repositioning. Two swivel wheels enable tight-radius turns in confined spaces. Each swivel wheel includes a foot-operated brake. Brakes lock both rotation and swivel motion when engaged. Wheel diameter clears minor floor irregularities without snagging.

• Four wheels: 70 mm diameter
• Two fixed wheels
• Two swivel wheels with foot brakes
• Brakes lock rotation and swivel

Fixed wheels prevent unwanted lateral drift during pushing. Swivel wheels allow maneuvering around obstacles and into corners. Foot brakes engage quickly without bending or using hands. Locked wheels prevent movement during tapping operations that generate lateral forces.

Common applications

This bench suits small and medium workshops that perform internal threading with hand-held or bench-mounted tapping machines. It accommodates electric tapping arms, pneumatic tappers and manual tapping heads. The T-slots clamp valve bodies, flanges, brackets and housings for thread cutting. Workshops use it for drilling operations when the tapping machine is removed. Mobile design allows positioning near assembly lines or storage areas. The drawer stores tap sets, drill bits and thread gauges for immediate access during production runs.

Technical data summary

FERVI M037-B combines a rigid steel work surface with integrated tool storage and mobility. The 900×600 mm top and three T-slots handle diverse clamping requirements. Ball-bearing drawer slides and four wheels with brakes balance convenience and stability. Net weight of 92.5 kg provides a stable platform for tapping machines up to medium capacity. The bench ships fully assembled except for wheel installation.
