Sherwood Spotting Drills HSS-E

These specially designed drills produce accurate and true positional hole starts for follow-up drills. They provide exceptional alignment accuracy, achieved due to short flute and overall lengths and no body clearance. This very short design allows chucking very close to the point so that they will produce a true start or center. Traditional twist drill bits may tend to wander when started on an unprepared surface. Once a bit wanders off-course it is difficult to bring it back on center. A spot drill bit will provide a far better starting point as it is short and has a reduced tendency to wander. For accurate and fast spotting on NC machines, jig drills and other capital-intensive boring machines. Also suitable for countersinking and chamfering of tapping holes in one operation.
90 point angle - Offers hole chamfering and spotting with one tool.
120 point angle - Specifically for spotting and closely matches a typical drill point. The cutting edges of the following drill will engage easily for perfect hole location.

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.

Taper Taps Metric Coarse Straight Flute Ground Thread HSS

Sherwood taper taps are used to start cutting the thread is 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.

Sherwood® Knuckle Form Ripper Cutters

Sherwood® 'Rippal' 3 flute ripper cutters have centre cutting as standard and as they are manufactured from HSS-Co 8% they operate at higher speeds and feeds than conventional shank milling cutters, removing more metal per minute. The Sherwood® 'Rippal' cutter's unique geometry ensures a more efficient cutting action and reduced cutting time helps you to reduce costs and increase productivity. Power and workholding rigidity must be checked carefully before use as it is recommended that 'Rippal' cutters are used with consistent power feed rates to eliminate backlash.

Sherwood® 'Rippal' cutters are available polished or unpolished and with a weldon or combination shank.

930MP Series 3 Flute 'Rippal' Ripper Cutters Weldon Shank HSS-Co 8%

The 930MP 'Rippal' cutters have polished flutes making suitable for use when cutting aluminium to ensure optimum swarf removal.
