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.

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.

Taper Tap BSP(F) (British Standard Pipe Fittings) 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 (Straight Flute)

Guhring 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.

Series 205

Sandvik Coromant CoroDrill 880 Indexable Drilling Inserts

Guide to Geometry/Feed:
-GM geometry is the basic choice for most materials. Medium feed.
-LM geometry is the best choice for long chipping materials, e.g. low carbon steel and stainless steels. Medium feed, insert with sharp positive edge.
-GR geometry is the high feed choice for steel and cast iron. Insert with strong reinforced edge, suitable for roughing.
-GT geometry is a problem solver for unstable conditions and interrupted cuts. Low to high feed. Good chip control in most materials.

Guhring Machine Chucking Reamers Intermediate Diameter HSS-E

Available in diameters ranging from 2mm to 10mm in increments of 0.01mm. Made from HSS-E steel with a bright finish, left hand spiral flute. For all ferrous and non-ferrous metals and hard and soft plastics. For use on CNC machines, producing high quality reamed holes. Manufactured to DIN 212 and DIN 2172 section 1.

Shank diameter equals cutting diameter - 0.025mm.
dia 2.00 - dia 2.65 / dia 2.66 - dia 10.00 H9.

Diameter Tolerances (to H7)
Up to 5.5mm: plus 0.004mm minus 0.000mm
Above 5.5mm: plus 0.005mm minus 0.000mm.

Code numbers are determined by the nominal diameter. Delete the decimal point; create a four figure number by preceding the figures with a zero, if required. All codes finish with the letter A, i.e. 3.60 becomes 0360A.
