Sherwood Taps

Sherwood HSS Taps are the general purpose option for thread cutting in most materials including steel, some stainless steels, cast irons and non-ferrous materials such as Aluminium, Brass and many others.

Manufactured with precision ground flutes for producing accurate thread forms, Sherwood Taps are available in all the popular thread forms and as straight Flute `Hand` Taps in 3 leads, Fluteless, Spiral Flute, or Spiral Point Machine Taps and also Long Series.

Sherwood Tap dimensions conform to ISO529 apart from NPT Forms which conform to ANSI 94.9. Straight Flute and Fluteless Taps are manufactured with a standard Bright Finish whereas the Machine Taps have an Oxidised Finish for best results dissipating the heat build-up associated with these applications.

Thread Forms are Class 2 medium fit tolerance.

For all technical and dimensional specifications please refer to our catalogue.

Plug Tap Metric Fine Straight Flute Ground Thread HSS

The Sherwood Plug tap is used last after the Taper and Second tap have been used, when threading blind holes it cuts threads to the bottom of the hole.

Dormer Taps

Dormer MTT-X Series taps are manufactured from HSS-X1 Steel with Bright finish, they are right Hand Cutting.

Manufactured to ISO 529
Spiral Point for threading through holes.
Taper lead to DIN form B.
Tapping tolerance to 6H.
Max Depth 2.5 x D.

For all technical and dimensional specifications please refer to our catalogue.

Sherwood Dies

Sherwood dies are for use in die stocks to cut external screw threads on metal rod, the split in the die allows the adjusting screws of the diestock to compress or expand the die to accommodate for slight variations in size of the material being threaded or die sharpness. Sherwood dies are available as Metric Fine, Metric Coarse, UNF, UNC, BA, BSF, BSW, BSPT, BSPF, NPT cutting threads all the dies are manufactured from HSS with precision ground threads to the applicable standard.

For all technical and dimensional specifications please refer to our catalogue.

Spiral Point Tap UNF (Unified Fine) Ground Thread HSS

A spiral point tap has a chiselled point that pushes the metal chips ahead of the forming threads. This is useful when tapping through-holes (holes that extend through the work piece).

Spiral Point taps are not recommended for use in blind holes: the accumulation of chips can bind and break the tap.

Taper Tap UNC (Unified Coarse) Straight Flute Ground Thread HSS

Sherwood taper taps are used to start cutting the thread is tapered back from the end 6 to 10 threads before a fully threaded diameter is reached this allows the tap to be positioned easily and correctly before it starts to cut the thread.
