| Greetings |
 With Labor Day fast approaching it's time to send out our August newsletter. Our summer sales activity was like this year's summer weather in Connecticut: hot some days, cool other days, but pretty good overall.

| Somma Second Operation Machines |
In
this newsletter we would like to re-introduce you to our Second
Operation Machines. We make both a re-tapping machine (part # BB-SR)
and a tapping machine (part # STC-TAP-ER) and they both offer many
advantages in re-tapping and tapping operations.
Re-Tap-Er
Ths Somma Re-Tap-Er machine, BB-SR, can re-tap threaded parts, chase threads, and remove cut off burrs from threads. It can also be used to inspect threads when a thread gage is mounted in the chuck. The BB-SR .has a double disc friction drive that reverses rotation instantly by the application of forward or backward hand pressure on the part being tapped. The friction discs are driven by a rubber drive ring mounted on the motor shaft and the maximum spindle speed is 1,000 RPM. The machine is assembled with the standard black neoprene rubber drive ring # BB-7. A heavy duty orange urethane drive ring, #BB-7HD, is also included.
This machine has recently had some design improvements to make it easier to replace the drive rings and there is also a light switch now warning you if the motor is running. The list price is $592.25.
STC-TAP-ER
The Somma Tapping machine , STC-TAP-ER, can perform all of the operations done with a BB-SR, but it can also tap up to a 5/16-18 thread in ½" thick steel. This machine has a double disc friction drive like the BB-SR that reverses rotation instantly by forward or backward hand pressure on the part being tapped. The friction discs, however, are driven by a Heavy Duty Tapered Cone Drive Collar mounted on the motor shaft instead of by drive rings like the BB-SR. The maximum spindle speed is 300 RPM.
The STC-TAP-ER features a sliding face plate, a work table that can be reversed when not needed, an adjustable "V" plate for positioning small parts, and a light switch warning you if the motor is running. The list price is $818.85.
Both machines can be supplied without a motor, or with special motors for areas where 115V, single phase motors are not suitable.
