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.

Second Tap UNF (Unified Fine) 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 Engineers' Hand Files Industrial Quality

Engineers' Flat Files have edges that taper towards front. Applications as for hand files but without safe edge. Preferred where taper allows access into tight corners and angles. For general work on iron, steel, etc. Available as Smooth Cut, Second Cut and Bastard Cut.

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.

Sherwood Drill Blanks HSS

Jobber length blank hardened and ground all over. Accurately ground without back taper. Diameter Tolerance: h8. Manufactured to DIN 338.

Series J400

Sherwood 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 J100
