is an electric motor-driven machine which centers and
chucks the pipe, conduit and rod (bolt stock), and ro-
tates it while threading, cutting, and reaming operations
are performed. The ON/OFF switch allows the machine to
turn in the FORWARD direction. An integral system is pro-
vided to flood the work with thread cutting oil during
threading operations.
