Available in a range of sizes and specifications, the taps are manufactured from High Speed Steel (HSS) and have an oxidised finish. The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. Use the tap to cut into a hole while the die set is used to cut onto a cylindrical surface, creating a bolt. Spiral point taps are engineered for efficient chip removal, while the flute design aids in smooth and precise threading operations. Application: Process steel, iron, aluminum, copper and other metals, widely used in thread repair and other processing.
HSS M2 High quality General Purpose Taps, Ground Thread, available in sets of three and also individual taps.We started exhibiting at model engineering exhibitions in 1994 and realised from the shows that people wanted quite specialised tooling for their machines and also a wide range of tooling which they could adapt to suit their needs. The taps are used to create screw threads that allow for a secure connection between objects using threaded screws. Be sure to select the appropriate cutting oil for the complex tapping process and apply anti-rust oil for maintenance after use. Round dies are suitable for general purpose threading, widely used in thread repair or cleaning the external thread. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.
The plug tap and taper tap both have a straight flute design, making them suitable for a range of general-purpose tapping applications.The "SP/FLT" designation signifies that this tap is a spiral point (SP) tap with a flute (FLT) design. These high quality and durable taps and dies, are a fantastic low cost threading solution for general engineers, model engineers, hobbyists and mechanics.
These come with a vap surface treatment making them suitable for use on Stainless Steel (also good for Steel). 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. 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. Recommended feed rate: General steel: 6-15m/min; harder steel: 5-10m/min; stainless steel: 2-7m/min; cast iron: 8-10m/min.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.
Prime-X YG-1 Premium HSS-PM Machine Taps have a unique X-coating and a tough chip resistant cutting edge which provide ultra long tool life, high heat resistance and high performance tapping on a wide range of materials including Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron and Non-Ferrous. Straight flute design, used for through hole and shallow blind hole tapping, not for blind hole tapping.These Spiral Point Taps are suitable for cutting 25mm /1” thick material due to the safety recess at the end of the thread. EW Equipment has been trading for over 50 years, we can offer expert advice and knowledge for the best tooling for the job. The taps create a coarse thread for greater resistance to stripping, ensuring a reliable and long-lasting thread. When tapping, it is necessary to add water or coolant to cool down to prevent excessive temperature and reduce tap loss. Tap and die sets are used by engineers, metalworkers, and mechanics to cut internal or external threads, allowing two or more pieces of metal to screw together.
