PSC and PSCa (adjustable) Collets for Plain Shank Cutters

Tru-Loc Collets are available for plain shank cutters in two different styles, PSC non adjustable and PSCa - Collets with an adjustable back-stop screw to allow more accurate & consistent cutter replacement.

For all dimensional specifications please refer to our catalogue.

PSC Type

Dormer Jobber Drills Steam Tempered HSS

Suitable for drilling steel, cast steel, alloyed and unalloyed, grey cast iron, spheroidal iron, sintered powder metal, German silver and graphite. Manufactured to BS328/DIN338RN.

Black Finish (W-Finish)
This is the most common surface finish and is the result of a steam tempering operation in which steam is passed over the product during a controlled tempering cycle, producing a black oxide layer. Black tools are generally recommended for ferrous applications where the oxide layer aids chip flow, helps to dissipate heat by retaining some coolant on the tool surface and also helps to prevent the tool from staining.

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.

Taper Taps Metric 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.

SwissTech 4 Flute End Mills Plain Shank Q-Coat Carbide

Centre cutting. Available in HSS-Co 8% Uncoated (for general production machining), HSS-Co 8% TiCN Coated (extends cutter life and improves work material surface finish) and HSS-Co 8% TiALN Coated (dissipates and resists heat, reduces surface friction coupled with high surface hardness).

Sherwood® Knuckle Form Ripper Cutters

Sherwood® 'Rippal' 3 flute ripper cutters have centre cutting as standard and as they are manufactured from HSS-Co 8% they operate at higher speeds and feeds than conventional shank milling cutters, removing more metal per minute. The Sherwood® 'Rippal' cutter's unique geometry ensures a more efficient cutting action and reduced cutting time helps you to reduce costs and increase productivity. Power and workholding rigidity must be checked carefully before use as it is recommended that 'Rippal' cutters are used with consistent power feed rates to eliminate backlash.

Sherwood® 'Rippal' cutters are available polished or unpolished and with a weldon or combination shank.

930MP Series 3 Flute 'Rippal' Ripper Cutters Weldon Shank HSS-Co 8%

The 930MP 'Rippal' cutters have polished flutes making suitable for use when cutting aluminium to ensure optimum swarf removal.

Guhring GT50 Long Series Drills HSS

A special drill for drilling deep holes in soft materials and those producing long stringy swarf with a case hardness of 500N/mm2 such as mild steel, aluminium, aluminium alloys, zinc, refined copper and wood. Manufactured to DIN340.

For all dimensional specifications please refer to our catalogue.

Series 501 - Metric

Sherwood Spiral Flute Chucking Reamers Straight Shank Cobalt HSS-E

Dormer Machine Taps

Dormer machine tap ranges have been designed for use with a high quality floating tool holder. For synchronous tapping on CNC machines with a rigid tapping cycle, Dormer SynchroFlex tool holders are recommended for a precisely defined minimum compensation in order to maximise machine performance. This is particularly important for larger sizes of spiral flute taps.

Available in spiral point for through holes and spiral flute for blind holes with 45 spiral angle. The three radii profile, with a constant rake angle all along the flute, is specially designed to give an optimum performance and chip evacuation in materials being threaded.
Surface Treatment
Special gold finish with bright flutes/thread, or steam tempering (blue) guarantee a smooth cutting action with less build up on the cutting edge.

Manufactured from HSS-XS1 premium quality vanadium powder steel and HSCo for superior toughness and edge strength, to give a high resistance to wear and long tool life.

All taps are available in Metric thread form initially. Thread forms Metric Fine, UNC, UNF and G will be stocked from September 2010.
Short Thread Length
The short thread length means low torque and better chip evacuation.
Thread Depth
Threading to depths of up to 2.5 x Diameter.

EX00 Series Spiral Flute Metric Machine Tap

Dormer Spiral Point Machine Taps for blind holes.
With Gold finish and bright flutes.
Taper lead to DIN form C.
Tapping tolerance to 6H.
Max depth 2.5 x D.
Helix angle 45.
