Abstract

Fluid dispensing and control system for tapping attachments includes a controller mountable upon a machining center and connectable between the tapping attachment and a source of cutting fluid, as well as to the machine's recirculating coolant flow. Connection of the tapping attachment to the machine through the controller determines whether cutting fluid or coolant will circulate to the tapping attachment.
