Number & Letter Gauge Drills:
Gauge drills are still in common use in the U.S. In the past, they were popular elsewhere, but now have been largely discarded in favour of metric sizes. When using a gauge rather than a standard measurement of size the user has to refer to a table of gauge sizes. For example, to drill a hole which is 10 thou (thousandth of an inch .0010) bigger than a 1/8 inch bolt, the user must first work out that 1/8 inch is 125 thou, so the hole size needed is 135 thou, and then must look up in a reference book which gauge drill bit is closest to this diameter - a number 29. Number gauge sizes are similar or equivalent in some respects to, but different from, American wire gauge. Number gauge is usually used from size 80 (the smallest) to size 1 (the largest) followed by letter gauge size A (the smallest) to size Z (the largest). Number gauge is actually defined down to size 97, but these smaller sizes are rarely encountered. It happens that as the technology for making small drill bits and drilling small holes has become more available, metric drills have become the norm.

Series J100 - Gauge Sizes

Iscar Helido Indexable Endmills and Facemills

The new HELIDO H490 ANKX rectangular inserts have 4 helical right-hand positive cutting edges. They were designed in cutting edge lengths of 9, 12 and 17 mm. Insert construction is very thick and strong; clamped into a dovetail inclined pocket which provides a very rigid clamping and has a wiper which leaves an excellent surface finish.

Due to its strong construction, unique chip deflector with positive cutting angles and excellent grade combinations, this new family features high durability, low cutting forces and long tool life. Our most advanced SUMO TEC grades ensure excellent performance and reliability.

The new HELIDO tools can be used for machining steel, stainless steel and cast iron at very high machining parameters. HELIDO"s state-of-the-art of milling insert design, enables excellent performance and extremely high productivity.

H490 - A new family of double-sided inserts with 4 helical cutting edges.

H490 E90AX...-09 Indexable End Mills

End Mills with double-sided inserts, diameter range 16-40mm.

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.

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

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.
