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.

Ground Thread Left Hand Taper Tap Metric Coarse Straight Flute 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.

Second Tap BA (British Association) Straight Flute Ground Thread HSS

The Sherwood second tap is used after the taper tap has cut threads into the hole as far as possible. It tapers back 3 or 4 threads before a fully threaded diameter is reached. If threading a blind hole a Plug tap will be required to cut threads to the bottom of the hole.

Swiss+Tech® 'Black Ring' Taps HSS-E

Swiss+Tech® Black Ring Taps are the realisation of narrower tolerances and more efficient cutting times when tapping. The Swiss+Tech® HSS-E Black Ring tool geometry has been developed and optimized during long-term tests with users threading materials such as structural steel, aluminium castings, machining steel, VA-steels, heat-resistant steels and tool steels.

HSS-E Black Ring Taps

The unique general-purpose properties of Swiss+Tech® Black Ring Tap guarantees high productivity by reducing the amount of time spent changing taps for different materials and at the same time reduces the number of taps required by the machine shop. Swiss+Tech® Black Ring machine taps with their wide range of applications are the result of years of experience in metal cutting to the demands from customers:
For increased versatility.
Reducing the confusing type variety.
Reducing the storage costs for the tools.
Reducing the tool changing times, for general tapping applications.
