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 Flute Metric Coarse HSS - EV

With high helix (45°), right hand spiral flutes, designed to pull swarf towards the shank of the tap. Most suitable for blind-hole tapping. 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.

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 Taps 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.

Ground Thread Left Hand Second Taps Metric Coarse Straight Flute 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.

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.

Indexa-Seiki FM - Face Mill Adaptors

From an extensive programme of quality spindle nose tooling, used with an extensive range of face and shell mills

Sandvik Threading Toolholders and Inserts

Sandvik's 266 CoroThread toolholders and inserts provide a high level of stability for threading applications in demanding industries, where precision is paramount.

266 CoroThread UN Internal Left Hand Threading Insert

Grade description for GC1125:
New PVD-TiAIN-based coating and substrate combine to improve wear resistance and security for threading, providing the option of running at higher cutting speeds or for a longer time in cut.

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.

SwissTech Heavy Duty Jobber Drills HSS-Co 8% Cobalt

The addition of up to 8% Cobalt allows higher speeds to be used without reducing the life of the tool, increasing productivity. 28 Helix and 135 Point. Manufactured to DIN338RN. Point to DIN1412C.

Series 1020 - Metric

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.
