<p>In a self-reversing tapping attachment an improved coolant system includes at least one coolant flow orifice (116,118,120) at the end of a coolant flow conduit (44) contained in a drive spindle member (18) and further includes a coolant contact member (122) for generating force to prevent interference with the drive spindle member (18) prior to tapping a hole. Provision is further made for self-correction of any tendency for back pressure of coolant flow to interfere with motion of the drive spindle member (18) by provision for covering the coolant flow orifice (116,118,120) during motion under back pressure, thereby reducing such pressure. A collector chamber (124) and exit orifice (126) for expulsion to ambient of coolant prevent impingement upon the inner mechanism by coolant under back pressure. <IMAGE></p> |
