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.

Spiral Point Tap Metric Coarse 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.

Dormer Machine Taps

MTT-X taps are manufactured from premium quality vanadium powder steel, branded HSS-XS1, for an unbeatable combination of toughness, edge strength and wear resistance. This winning combination enables them to withstand the stresses of threading in tough materials. Special gold finish with bright flutes/thread, or steam tempering (blue) guarantee a smooth cutting action with less build-up on the cutting edge.

For all dimensional specifications please refer to our catalogue.

ISO Metric: E000 Spiral Point (Gold Coated)

For through holes. Taper lead to DIN form B. Tapping tolerances to 6H. Max depth 2.5 x D.

Kennedy® Thredfloer Fluteless Taps

Form rather than cut the thread in almost any ductile material. These include aluminium, brass, copper, carbon steels, zinc and magnesium alloys and even some stainless steels. The material is "cold formed" into the relevant thread and has the advantage of being a full form thread unlike normal cut tapped holes. This make the thread stronger. The forming operation does not create chips so swarf contamination and blockage is illiminated and tap breakage reduced. Because there is no consideration for chip evacuation, Thredfloer taps can be run at higher cutting speeds and reduced cycle times. Lubrication grooves are a feature of all Thredfloer taps of M3.0 and over. These allow lubrication to reach the end of the tap to maintain tool life and to prevent damage from "Hydraulic Blow Out".

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.

Taper Tap BSW (British Standard Whitworth) 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.

Second Tap UNC (Unified Coarse) 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.

Kennedy® High Performance Machine Taps

Made from a super grade high speed steel with extra vanadium content. This has a distinct advantage with taps, by increasing wear resisting properties and extending tool life significantly. These taps are intended for general application where consistent results and improved tool life are important. Threads can be produced in a range of steels, including stainless and cast steels as well as some long chip non-ferrous materials.

Machine Taps Spiral Point Metric Coarse HSS - EV

With straight flutes and short fluted helix at point. Ideal for tapping through holes as swarf is directed ahead of the tap. Flutes are narrower than those of taps required to pull swarf towards the shank and act as lubricant channels, giving greater tap rigidity. Manufactured to BS 949: Part 4: 1990 and ISO 529 : 1975. Tolerance 6H.
Oxidised finish (black): special heat treated finish gives resistance to rust and reduces metal to metal friction. Combined with a porous surface that gives optimum lubricant retention, work-generated heat is minimised, giving prolonged cutting edge life. Use on higher carbon steels cast materials high silicon aluminiums.
