SPEEDAIRE 4WXT7 tapping tool

The SPEEDAIRE 4WXT7 is a pneumatic hand tapping tool built for threading holes in aluminium up to 1/2 inch and steel up to 7/16 inch. It runs at a free speed of 150 RPM with a 1/2 hp motor and includes a quick-change tooling adapter for fast tap swaps. The reversible function lets you back out of threads without changing tools. It suits maintenance shops and fabrication cells that need portable thread cutting.

Air consumption and operating pressure

The tool draws 27 cfm at a required pressure of 90 psi and has a maximum operating pressure of 100 psi. A 3/8 inch air inlet and compatible hose diameter keep the connection straightforward. Supplying clean, dry air at the specified pressure maintains consistent torque and speed during normal use. Exceeding the maximum pressure or running on an undersized compressor will reduce performance and may damage internal components.

Quick-change adapter and reversible drive

The bundled quick-change tooling adapter lets you switch tap sizes without extra wrenches, cutting setup time on multi-hole jobs. Reversible operation means you can clear chips or correct alignment by simply changing direction at the tool. No lubrication system or filter-regulator is included, so you must add them upstream if your air line does not already provide conditioned air. The tool does not come with taps or a storage case.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 3/8 in air inlet to my compressor line and set the required 90 psi?

Fit a 3/8 in hose to the inlet, regulate supply to 90 psi, and do not exceed the 100 psi maximum operating pressure.

What routine upkeep does the reversible 1/2 hp air motor need?

Drain moisture daily, lubricate through the air line each shift, and inspect the quick-change adapter for wear.

At what point does the 27 cfm air demand become the limiting factor during long tapping cycles?

When the compressor cannot sustain 27 cfm at 90 psi, motor speed drops below 150 RPM and torque falls off.
