Dormer Shark Line takes a bite out of threading Dormer Tools has introduced a new range of taps for material specific applications branded “Shark Line” . Designed to obtain superior performance, all Shark taps feature a coloured ring that signifies the specific material type it is suited to. ​The programme encompasses spiral point taps for through-hole applications, spiral flute taps for threading blind holes and, in the case of white ring taps for cast iron, straight flute taps for both through or blind holes. Shark Line taps are manufactured from a HSS-E-PM substrate specifically developed for taps to give the additional toughness required, consistently stable properties and a superior grind-ability compared to conventional high-speed steels. These improved characteristics mean the taps have a more predictable and assured life.   Advanced geometry ensures the production of excellent threads at both high and low cutting speeds. Furthermore it prevents unnecessary bu...

Moss Plastics will be rebranding to Essentra Components following the rebrand of our parent company Filtrona plc to Essentra plc. Essentra, an abstract name, was specifically chosen to capture what each of Filtrona’s businesses manufactures and supplies; namely millions of small but essential components which often play a critical enabling role in the products of the Company’s customers, everywhere and every day. Part of Essentra’s Vision 2015 strategy has been to progressively create a more unified culture, working together in a more co-ordinated way across the Company rather than down the divisions so as to leverage the Group’s collective skills and capabilities more effectively. The rebranding of Essentra Components to Essentra Components will have a number of benefits, most of all, greater visibility as to the benefits of the Company’s entire product and service offering, with more co-ordinated communication behind a single visual identity alongside the quality ...

Dormer Fans this one is for you: This month see’s the launch of Dormer’s latest version of their innovative “Product Selector” programme - a web-based ‘live’ application that provides guidance on the most effective machining solutions from the company’s database of more than 12,500 products. The 2014 version has been completely re-engineered from top to bottom to maximise ease of use, speed and compatibility with modern PC’s and latest versions of Windows. The software provides users with personalised advice on the best tool for a range of machining areas including drilling, milling, threading and reaming. As such, it aims to simplify the sometimes complex procedure of tool section, hopefully saving time and money that may otherwise be lost on materials or tools damaged through incorrect usage. The design and layout has been refreshed with minimal data input required. Most information can be selected either from drop-down lists or check boxes. This means the process i...

The weather is telling us – soon it will be time to change from summer to winter tyres. For the controlled tightening of wheel nuts a torque wrench should be used, regardless of whether the change is carried out by a private person or a specialist in a workshop. The torque wrench in general is a hand-operated tool for carrying out controlled screw connection work. A controlled screw connection is when the force used for screwing is exactly specified and adhered to. Torque wrenches have a scale for this and use a tactile, visual or acoustic signal to indicate when the desired torque has been reached. With the mechanical torque wrench GEDORE DREMASTER®, which is produced in Germany, the signal is triggered automatically and noticeably felt and heard by the user. This wrench also has a dual scale with main and alternative unit, so you can measure both in newton metres (N•m) and in foot pounds (ft•lb). Both the setting of an incorrect unit and reading errors can be avoided by simple select...
