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.

Tap Set Metric Fine Straight Flute Ground Thread HSS

Sherwood HSS taper taps are used to start cutting the thread they 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.

The 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 full thread diameter is reached.

The Plug tap cuts threads to the bottom of a blind hole. It is only necessary to use the full set of taps when a blind hole is to be tapped.

Each set of Sherwood taps contain one taper, second and plug lead tap.

Guhring GT50 Long Series Drills HSS

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.

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.

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

Starrett Holesaws

Starrett carbide tipped holesaws have a high-hardness and increased resistance to wear this and a triple chip tooth grind, make them ideal for use on PVC, wood, fibreglass, ABS and materials that are too hard and abrasive for regular steel hole saws. The cutting depth is 41mm (1.5/8 inch). The saws have constant 3-pitch teeth.

Holesaw and Arbor sizes:
14-30mm - use Arbor K1 or K4.
32-210mm - use Arbor K2 or K10.
