Spiral flute taps are used for machine tapping of blind holes as the have a spiral flute that channels the swarf back behind the tap and out of the hole along the flute.

Sherwood HSS coarse ground thread spiral flute taps are manufactured from high speed steel with a black oxide finish for improved wear and heat resistance. Ideal for use on a wide range of materials including steel and stainless steel, the precision ground flutes offer excellent cutting accuracy. 

Features and Benefits
• Manufacturedd from high speed steel for improved rigidity 
• Oxidised finish for greater heat resistance and reduced wear
• Precision ground flutes for greater cutting accuracy

Specifications
• Class 2 thread forms
• Medium fit tolerance
• Precision ground flutes
• Spiral flute
• Oxidised finish
• Tap dimensions conform to ISO529

Typical Applications
• Tapping
• Steel
• Stainless steel

HSS Coarse Ground Thread Spiral Flute Taps (Metric)

Machine Tap, M8 x 1.25mm, Metric Coarse, Spiral Flute, High Speed Steel, Steam Tempered

A spiral point tap has a chiselled point that pushes the metal chips ahead of the forming threads. This is useful when tapping through-holes (holes that extend through the work piece). 

Spiral Point taps are not recommended for use in blind holes: the accumulation of chips can bind and break the tap.

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. Manufactured with a black oxide finish to resist heat, the spiral point for excellent sheering action.

Features and Benefits
• Manufactured from durable high speed steel
• Precision ground flutes for accurate thread cutting
• Spiral point for excellent sheering action
• Manufactured with a black oxide finish

Typical Applications
• Tapping
• Steel
• Brass
• Aluminium
• Engineering
• Manufacturing

Standards
• Tap dimensions to ISO529
• Straight Flute Individual Sizes IS0 529

Notes
• Available in sizes 1.6 x 0.35mm - 24 x 3.00mm

IS0 529 - Spiral Flute.
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.

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. 

Sherwood Tap dimensions conform to ISO529 apart from NPT Forms which conform to ANSI 94.9. 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.

Thread Forms are Class 2 medium fit tolerance.
