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.

Second Tap UNC (Unified Coarse) 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.

Dormer Machine Taps

MTT-X taps are manufactured from premium quality vanadium powder steel, branded HSS-XS1, for an unbeatable combination of toughness, edge strength and wear resistance. This winning combination enables them to withstand the stresses of threading in tough materials. Special gold finish with bright flutes/thread, or steam tempering (blue) guarantee a smooth cutting action with less build-up on the cutting edge.

Pinzbohr Modular Boring System Heads

Simultaneous movement of both slide-blocks on rough boring heads. Inner pre-load device between body and slide block on finish boring heads. Override device on adjusting screw in rough boring heads. Few boring head components. Simple adjusting and locking mechanism. Setting diameter with boring head mounted in machine tool using micrometer or caliper. After setting to the required diameter it prevents slide block from moving while tightening lock screw. Prevents adjusting screw from stripping threads; very easy and fast to adjust. Precision machined components. Made from chrome nickel alloy tool steel. Modular components - simple yet secure coupling system. Large adjusting ranges on rough and finish boring heads. Rough and finish boring heads for many insert styles. High accuracy and repeatability. Very rugged - excellent durability. Components remain securely locked even under severe machining conditions.

75 and 90 Rough Boring and Finish Boring Heads:
Dual insert head design for heavy duty roughing. 12 different head sizes cover a diameter range from 24 to 500mm. Integral insert pocket design for head sizes 22 - 54. Insert cartridge design for head sizes 68 - 500. Heads and cartridges available for up to 5 different insert styles (MC.., CC.., CN.., TC.., WC..). Simultaneous adjustment of the slide blocks. Override device to prevent stripping of adjusting screw. Micrometer adjustment on large boring heads, with 0.01mm increments. Cartridges have own radial adjusting screw for individual setting of cartridges. Change to different lead angle or insert style by simply exchanging cartridges.

Cartridge Design for Heads Size 68 ? 500mm:
Cartridges available for 5 different insert styles (MC.., CC.., CN.., TC.., WC..) Cartridges available with 75 and 90 lead angle, equipped with a radial adjusting screw for setting centrality or radial stagger. Available in pairs for symmetric or axial staggered insert set-up.

Guhring Standard Production Taps

Guhring standard production taps are marked with colour rings to help you quickly and confidently choose the correct tool for your job. Each ring relates to the unique machining behaviours of different materials as dictated by their type and condition. The role of material type and condition in selecting the proper tap for each application cannot be overstated.
Manufactured from HSS-E steel to DIN 371.
For through holes.
Taper lead to DIN form B.
(3.5 x P to 5.5 x P).

BSF (British Standard Fine) HSS Ground Thread Dies

Sherwood dies are for use in die stocks to cut external screw threads on metal rod, the split in the die allows the adjusting screws of the diestock to compress or expand the die to accommodate for slight variations in size of the material being threaded or die sharpness. Sherwood dies are available as Metric Fine, Metric Coarse, UNF, UNC, BA, BSF, BSW, BSPT, BSPF, NPT cutting threads all the dies are manufactured from HSS with precision ground threads to the applicable standard.
