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 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.

Iscar HELITURN Indexable Inserts

Iscar HELITURN LD Inserts with High Helical Cutting Edge for High Metal Removal Rates. The HELITURN LD inserts WNMX ...-HTW and CNMX ...-HTW are produced from the most advanced SUMO TEC grades. These inserts are designed with very positive radial helical cutting edges and positive rake angles ? a combination which substantially reduces the cutting forces and facilitates higher productivity.

The CNMX and WNMX insert corners are equipped with a wiper configuration which produces high surface finish, even at high feeds.

In many cases the surface finish is sufficient for eliminating a finishing cut.
HELITURN LD inserts were designed for heavy machining applications. Their unique design ensures reliable, Fast Metal Removal.

ISCAR has recently added the HMW chipformer for machining stainless steel, high temperture alloys and soft, low carbon steel.

CNMX and WNMX inserts require special tools with appropriate seats.

CNMX HELITURN Indexable Inserts

Grade Description: IC807 A tough submicron substrate improved TiAIN PVD coated grade for better chip flow. Suitable for turning heat resistant alloys, austenitic stainless steel and hard steel at low to medium cutting speeds

Sherwood 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.

Cutting Off Blades HSS

Guhring Jobber Drills HSS Steam Tempered

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 205

Dormer Jobber Drills for Stainless Steel HSS

Drills up to 4 x diameter. Split point. Point angle: 135. Manufactured to BS328, DIN338.

Series A108 - Metric

Iscar Parting and Grooving Blades

Iscar's new, single-ended insert for parting with an improved
clamping method, tangentially clamped, single-ended parting system

TAG insert features:
Very rigid clamping in a tangentially oriented pocket.
Enables machining at very high feed rates and provides excellent straightness and surface finish.
Recommended for parting large diameter parts and for interrupted cuts.
Offers a free, unobstructed chip flow, since there is no upper jaw as in the other clamping systems (very important in deep grooving and parting applications).
The combination of tangential clamping and free chip flow results in improved tool and insert lifetime.
Provides a solution to the problem of inserts being pulled out during retraction.

TGFH Part-Off Blade Set

The Iscar TGFH part-off blade set contains:
A double-ended tang-grip blade for parting & grooving.
10x Tag inserts grade IC808.

Grade Description: IC808 (ISO P15-P30, M20-M30, H10-H20, S15-S25)
A hard, fine grain substrate with excellent chipping resistance, combined with a new ?SUMO TEC? TiAlN PVD coating. Provides high wear resistance. Recommended for a very wide range of materials.
