    Better than my first copy this one has a 1/2-20 female thread for an arbor.
    I made up a quick one from a 1/2-20 bolt so I could put it in my DP.
    The output end has a 33JT stub that fits my new chuck perfectly.
    The knurled aluminum knob has a 33JT socket for use with the screwdrivers. (Yankee type).

    In the 4th picture you can see the output shaft extension, picture 3 shows it retracted.
    Extended is CCW and Retracted is CW rotation.


    The front of the Buck box lists :
    Versatapper (Best one for machine tapping and quite like a Tapmatic)

    Versamatic 4000-P and 4100 Like mine I believe.

    Push_Pull Tapper No 9000 This one would be nice for a home shop drill press use.
    The 9000 has specific chucks for taps.

    Versamate Speed reducer only.

    These are just the ones listed on this box!

    Cheers, JR

    A very useful device, we bought a tapmatic when making optical table link plates, hand tapping a 2' x 8' 1/2" alloy plate on a 1" x 1" hole spacing was never going to happen!
