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 BSPF (British Standard Pipe 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.

Sherwood® Solid Carbide Drills

Sherwood Solid Carbide Stub Drills are suitable for drilling into steel, cast steel, cast iron, chilled cast iron, malleable cast iron, non-ferrous materials and abrasive plastic.
Point angle: 118°, helix angle: 30°, tolerance of diameter: h7, tolerance of shank: h6.
Manufactured to Works Standard.

Allied Maxcut Thread Mills

The MaxThread™ threadmill range is manufactured from solid carbide with ground helical flutes and a TiAlN coating as standard. These product have been designed for the low volume/low cost production environment, providing excellent performance at a competitive price. A helical flute design has been maintained across the MaxThread™ range to allow
for maximum production benefits and to negate the need for straight flute thread mills. A comprehensive range of thread forms and technical information further supports the programme.

Features and Benefits:
Helical flute which offers increased strength and rigidity when cutting forces are applied.
TiAlN coated for increased tool life over uncoated tools.
Extensive range of thread forms.
High quality for consistent predictable production.

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.

3 Flute Straight Shank Countersinks

Sherwood countersinks are a chatter-free cutter that produce an excellent burr-free finish it is capable of deburring and countersinking in one stroke with no "back-off" of tool.
Countersinking a hole leaves an angled conical, chamfered recess on the finished job, for a tapered head bolt or screw to seat correctly into this angled form. Countersink bits can be used for deburring holes as well.
It will also countersink aluminium with no secondary bulge.
Ideal for special applications and exotic materials, a choice of hard coatings is available.

Kennedy Endmills

Kennedy KC3 throwaway 3* flute endmills are manufactured HSS-Co 5% making them much tougher than HSS. This means that Kennedy endmills can be used at higher speeds and feeds which in turn gives greater productivity.

Kennedy KC3 endmills are available uncoated, TiN coated and TiCN coated.

TiN (Titanium nitride) provides a surface hardness in the region of 2300HV which offers improved wear resistance, tool life and productivity.

TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride) gives a surface hardness in the region of 3000-3500 HV, excellent wear resistance and good heat resistance. This coating is used for the same things as TiN but also for hard steels, stainless, cast iron, brass & bronze.

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

*Except: 1mm cutters, 2mm and 1/16" ball nose cutters, all of which have two flutes.
