Be sure to select the appropriate cutting oil for the complex tapping process and apply anti-rust oil for maintenance after use. EW Equipment has been trading for over 50 years, we can offer expert advice and knowledge for the best tooling for the job. HSS Machine Tap is a specialized tool meticulously crafted for creating metric coarse threads in metal materials.

These high quality and durable taps and dies, are a fantastic low cost threading solution for general engineers, model engineers, hobbyists and mechanics. 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. Application: Process steel, iron, aluminum, copper and other metals, widely used in thread repair and other processing.

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. Before tapping confirm whether the diameter of the round hole is appropriate, and to take protective measures when working.

These Spiral Point Taps are suitable for cutting 25mm /1” thick material due to the safety recess at the end of the thread. 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. it can be used with manual equipment or special processing consoles, such as tapping machines, drill-in-one bench drills, CNC lathes, machining centers, etc. Spiral point taps are engineered for efficient chip removal, while the flute design aids in smooth and precise threading operations.The "SP/FLT" designation signifies that this tap is a spiral point (SP) tap with a flute (FLT) design. Recommended feed rate: General steel: 6-15m/min; harder steel: 5-10m/min; stainless steel: 2-7m/min; cast iron: 8-10m/min. The plug tap and taper tap both have a straight flute design, making them suitable for a range of general-purpose tapping applications.

HSS M2 High quality General Purpose Taps, Ground Thread, available in sets of three and also individual taps. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. When tapping, it is necessary to add water or coolant to cool down to prevent excessive temperature and reduce tap loss.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Tap and dies can also be used to clean existing threads, freeing the grooves from build-up or dirt and debris. Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS), this machine tap is highly durable and maintains sharp cutting edges, even during challenging machining tasks.
