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.

Marlco Litecut Keyway Push Broaches

Manufactured to BS4235;Part 1:1972 (normal fit Js9) and DIN6885 for Metric sizes, and BS46;Part 1:1958(1985) for Inch sizes. Precision made from high speed steel and simple to use with minimal set-up. The cutting geometry will suit most materials. Push broaches are designed for use in hand-operated or hydraulic mandrel presses, depending on load. Load per tooth, given in the tables, is based on a UTS of 400N/mm2 (approx. 25 tons/sq in). For other materials, adjust accordingly. It is important that broaches are reground when blunt and before damage occurs to the teeth. The use of cutting fluid is essential, and for steel, an oil with high pressure additives is recommended. Keyways from 2mm to 25mm width and bore diameters of 6mm to 95mm are possible. Both parallel and taper keyways can be cut by using the appropriate guide. Broach style L2 and L2M require the use of an extension shank which should be ordered separately. The shims specified for standard depth keyways can be adjusted to suit particular applications. Parallel broaches are listed and supplied as standard. Broaches for taper keyways are available to order.

Kennedy Precision Hand Files Needle Pattern (Round Handle)

Available in 14cm and 16cm lengths and a complete range of shapes. Manufactured to BS 498:1990.

Half Round

Available in Cut 0, 2 or 4.

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.

Dormer 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.
