Silver Steel

For tool room and general engineering. Applications include screwdrivers, punches, shafts, axles, pinions, pins, die posts, instrument parts, model parts, taps and drills for mild steel, engraver tools. High carbon content means that it can be hardened to give high wear resistance and chromium content adds strength and hardness.

Manufactured from
BS1407:1970 grade steel.

Typical hardness:
207-237HB with 285HB maximum.

Tensile strength:
45/55 T.P.S.I. (700/850 N/mm2).

Surface finish:
Better than 0.6 microns (25 micro inch) CLA (Centre Line Average).

Chemical analysis range:
Carbon 0.95 - 1.25%
Silicon 0.40% max
Manganese 0.25 - 0.45%
Phosphorous 0.045% max
Sulphur 0.045% max
Chromium 0.35 - 0.45%

Chemical analysis typical:
Carbon 1.13%
Silicon 0.22%
Manganese 0.37%
Phosphorous 0.014%
Sulphur 0.018%
Chromium 0.43%

Metric round sizes

Tolerances:
Up to 25mm plus 0 - 0.012mm.
Over 25mm up to and including 50mm plus 0 - 0.0250mm.

Modular Coolant Hose System



Valves

Thread fittings fully compatible with BSPT. In-line check valves stop fluid drip when flow stops, keeping hose full and reducing initial dry cutting.

Tool Carriers

Tool carrier blocks offer a new, flexible method of storing CNC tooling. Individual tool pots simply clip into the carrier block. Specify the type of tooling and then add the required amount of storage pots to the carrier block. Tool carrier blocks may be used in conjunction with trolleys, cupboards or freestanding on a bench top. Supplied in yellow RAL1023 only.
Tool carrier block dimensions (W x D x H): 590 x 124 x 110mm.
Tool blocks can mount directly into 750mm wide drawers.

Independent Jaw Lathe Chucks

Independently adjustable jaws. This allows firm gripping of irregular shaped work and the 4 jaws allow a square component to be perfectly centred to the chuck while achieving maximum gripping force. The chuck bodies are made of steel (sizes 85 - 160mm) or high quality cast iron (sizes 200-800mm). The jaws are made of high quality carbon steel and hardened. Thrust bearings and operating screws are made of case hardened steel. Supplied with reversible solid jaws, internal and external stepped. With T-Slots.

Cast Iron 4 Jaw Plain Back Chuck Type 4304

Plain back with adaptor recess. Front mounted. DIN 6351.

Indexa Die Springs

The heat and surface treatment plus the high quality of steel used in the manufacturing process ensure the springs will bear a high number of stresses without breaking or without appreciable loss of load. Every batch of springs is subject to a rigorous testing procedure to ensure that a consistent quality is maintained. Longer springs should be guided along their course.

Precision Ground Flat Stock (500mm)

The dimensional stability of ground flat stock combines with other useful characteristics including excellent resistance to cracking during heat treatment compared with other, more highly alloyed, cold work tools. Relatively soft and easy to machine. High wear resistance after heat treatment. Holds a good cutting edge. Suitable for EDM machining.
Typical applications: widely used in precision tools, machine knives, gauges, jigs, templates, punches, dies and machine parts.
The Cost Cutting Stock: extensive range of widths and thicknesses enables the selection of an appropriate size of ground flat stock to minimise material and machining costs.
