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. Recommended feed rate: General steel: 6-15m/min; harder steel: 5-10m/min; stainless steel: 2-7m/min; cast iron: 8-10m/min.

The taps are used to create screw threads that allow for a secure connection between objects using threaded screws. 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. Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS), this machine tap is highly durable and maintains sharp cutting edges, even during challenging machining tasks.These Spiral Point/Gun Nose thread taps are designed for redirecting chips out of the hole whilst threading for a clean and precise result. Tap and dies can also be used to clean existing threads, freeing the grooves from build-up or dirt and debris. Straight flute design, used for through hole and shallow blind hole tapping, not for blind hole tapping.

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. The taps create a coarse thread for greater resistance to stripping, ensuring a reliable and long-lasting thread. The taps come in a case made of impact-resistant PP (polypropylene), ensuring that the taps stay safe if the case is damaged or dropped.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. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. EW Equipment has been trading for over 50 years, we can offer expert advice and knowledge for the best tooling for the job. Application: Process steel, iron, aluminum, copper and other metals, widely used in thread repair and other processing. HSS Machine Tap is a specialized tool meticulously crafted for creating metric coarse threads in metal materials.

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. Spiral point taps are engineered for efficient chip removal, while the flute design aids in smooth and precise threading operations.

These high quality and durable taps and dies, are a fantastic low cost threading solution for general engineers, model engineers, hobbyists and mechanics. Be sure to select the appropriate cutting oil for the complex tapping process and apply anti-rust oil for maintenance after use. 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.
