When tapping, it is necessary to add water or coolant to cool down to prevent excessive temperature and reduce tap loss. 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. Before tapping confirm whether the diameter of the round hole is appropriate, and to take protective measures when working. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. HSS M2 High quality General Purpose Taps, Ground Thread, available in sets of three and also individual taps.

EW Equipment has been trading for over 50 years, we can offer expert advice and knowledge for the best tooling for the job. These come with a vap surface treatment making them suitable for use on Stainless Steel (also good for Steel).Be sure to select the appropriate cutting oil for the complex tapping process and apply anti-rust oil for maintenance after use. The taps are used to create screw threads that allow for a secure connection between objects using threaded screws.

The plug tap and taper tap both have a straight flute design, making them suitable for a range of general-purpose tapping 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. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.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. The taps create a coarse thread for greater resistance to stripping, ensuring a reliable and long-lasting thread. Straight flute design, used for through hole and shallow blind hole tapping, not for blind hole tapping. These Spiral Point/Gun Nose thread taps are designed for redirecting chips out of the hole whilst threading for a clean and precise result. These Spiral Point Taps are suitable for cutting 25mm /1” thick material due to the safety recess at the end of the thread.
