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.

Tap Set BSW (British Standard Whitworth) Straight Flute Ground Thread HSS

Each set of Sherwood taps contain one taper, second and plug lead tap:

Sherwood HSS Taper Taps are used to start cutting the thread. They are 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.

The 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 full thread diameter is reached.

The Plug Tap cuts threads to the bottom of a blind hole. It is only necessary to use the full set of taps when a blind hole is to be tapped.

Starrett Bi-Metal Holesaws Constant Pitch HSS

Bi-Metal Constant Pitch Holesaws have 6 teeth per 25mm/inch with an aggressive cutting action, featuring a HSS cutting edge welded to a tough alloy steel body. The Constant Pitch provides a smooth cut on thinner gauge materials, with minimal tendency to bite or snag on contact with irregular surfaces. Cutting depth 41mm (1 5/8").

Holesaw and Arbor sizes:
14-25mm - use Arbor A4 or K4.
30-210mm - use Arbor A10 or K10.
