Kennedy® High Performance Machine Taps

Made from a super grade high speed steel with extra vanadium content. This has a distinct advantage with taps, by increasing wear resisting properties and extending tool life significantly. These taps are intended for general application where consistent results and improved tool life are important. Threads can be produced in a range of steels, including stainless and cast steels as well as some long chip non-ferrous materials.

Machine Taps Spiral Flute Metric Coarse HSS - EV

With high helix (45°), right hand spiral flutes, designed to pull swarf towards the shank of the tap. Most suitable for blind-hole tapping. Manufactured to BS 949 : Part 4 : 1990 and ISO 529 : 1975. Tolerance 6H.
Oxidised finish (black): special heat treated finish gives resistance to rust and reduces metal to metal friction. Combined with a porous surface that gives optimum lubricant retention, work-generated heat is minimised, giving prolonged cutting edge life. Use on higher carbon steels cast materials high silicon aluminiums.

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.

Kennedy Holesaw Variable Pitch Bi-Metal HSS

Kennedy variable pitch bi-metal high speed holesaws feature a very aggressive cutting action, which gives a very smooth finish and substantial reductions in noise levels. Noise reduction is achieved by disrupting the harmonics produced when sawing certain materials and structures such as tubing and angle. An improvement in swarf clearance is also achieved.

Cutting depth: 28.5mm (1.1/8'').

Holesaw and Arbor sizes:
14-30mm - use Arbor K1 or K4.
32-210mm - use Arbor K2 or K10.

Kennedy® Brazed Tip Turning and Boring Tools

Manufactured in three standard grades. (All sizes are nominal). Manufactured to ISO DIN BHMA Standards.
P40:
Roughing to heavy roughing of steel and steel castings using heavy feeds and low to medium cutting speeds. Also used under unfavourable conditions, particularly where intermittent cutting is involved. This grade is also suitable for planing operations and for machining manganese steel.
P30:
Carbide tipped tools are suitable for heavy duty turning and boring on all classes of steel. Suitable also for interrupted cutting and machining at low speeds and heavy feeds.
K20:
General-purpose tools for most applications. Ideal for machining cast iron, non-ferrous metals, bakelite etc. Combines wear resistance with toughness when rough turning at moderate cutting speeds. Suitable for high feed rates.

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

Kennedy® Thredfloer Fluteless Taps

Form rather than cut the thread in almost any ductile material. These include aluminium, brass, copper, carbon steels, zinc and magnesium alloys and even some stainless steels. The material is "cold formed" into the relevant thread and has the advantage of being a full form thread unlike normal cut tapped holes. This make the thread stronger. The forming operation does not create chips so swarf contamination and blockage is illiminated and tap breakage reduced. Because there is no consideration for chip evacuation, Thredfloer taps can be run at higher cutting speeds and reduced cycle times. Lubrication grooves are a feature of all Thredfloer taps of M3.0 and over. These allow lubrication to reach the end of the tap to maintain tool life and to prevent damage from "Hydraulic Blow Out".
