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

Size range: M3 - M30. 
Tapping tolerance: 6H.

Features & Benefits:
Problem-free threading of blind and through holes in specific materials.
Manufactured from a special powder metallurgy tool steel for unbeatable toughness, edge strength and wear resistance.
Significant reduction in axial forces increases thread accuracy, whilst significant torque reduction reduces machine wear and decreases risk of chipping or breakage.
Yellow, Red and Blue Shark spiral flute taps feature special edge treatment to increase strength and minimise risk of micro-chipping on the cutting edges, considerably improving performance and tool life.
Available with a choice of surface treatments and thread forms.

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.
