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 Metric 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.

Sherwood 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.

Spiral Flute Tap UNF (Unified Fine) Ground Thread HSS

Spiral flute taps are used for machine tapping of blind holes as the have a spiral flute that channels the swarf back behind the tap and out of the hole along the flute.

Sherwood Straight Shank Parallel Hand Reamers

Used to produce a close tolerance surface finish by hand in almost any environment i.e. on site or in a workshop. Manufactured to BS 328 : Part 4 : 1990 and DIN 206B.

Spiral Flute Parallel Hand Reamers - Metric

3 Flute Straight Shank Countersinks

Sherwood countersinks are a chatter-free cutter that produce an excellent burr-free finish it is capable of deburring and countersinking in one stroke with no "back-off" of tool.
Countersinking a hole leaves an angled conical, chamfered recess on the finished job, for a tapered head bolt or screw to seat correctly into this angled form. Countersink bits can be used for deburring holes as well.
It will also countersink aluminium with no secondary bulge.
Ideal for special applications and exotic materials, a choice of hard coatings is available.
