Available in a range of sizes and specifications, the taps are manufactured from High Speed Steel (HSS) and have an oxidised finish. HSS Machine Tap is a specialized tool meticulously crafted for creating metric coarse threads in metal materials. The taps create a coarse thread for greater resistance to stripping, ensuring a reliable and long-lasting thread. Spiral point taps are engineered for efficient chip removal, while the flute design aids in smooth and precise threading operations. 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.

Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS), this machine tap is highly durable and maintains sharp cutting edges, even during challenging machining tasks. 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. 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. 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. 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.

These Spiral Point/Gun Nose thread taps are designed for redirecting chips out of the hole whilst threading for a clean and precise result. 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. 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. Recommended feed rate: General steel: 6-15m/min; harder steel: 5-10m/min; stainless steel: 2-7m/min; cast iron: 8-10m/min. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. We are proud suppliers of all the leading cutting tool and tool holding brands from around the world.

The TRE31 series is for machining metric fine threads and has a spiral flute geometry for blind hole tapping. The "SP/FLT" designation signifies that this tap is a spiral point (SP) tap with a flute (FLT) design. 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 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.
