The Bordo 16 x 2 mm MC Taper HSS Tap is part of Bordo’s professional High Speed Steel tapping range, engineered for precision internal thread cutting and starting threads in workshop, fabrication and general maintenance applications. Designed for industrial trade use, this metric coarse taper tap delivers reliable performance when creating M16 coarse threads in medium tensile materials.
Manufactured from premium High Speed Steel (HSS), this taper tap features a gradual lead of eight threads that eases entry into pre-drilled holes, reducing the risk of breakage and ensuring smoother thread cutting — especially beneficial when starting difficult or high-precision holes. With a 60° metric coarse thread form, flat crest and root clearance, the tap provides good engagement between internal and external threads, while a generous root radius and moderate thread height enhance thread strength. Suitable for both hand and general machine use, this tap is versatile for everyday trade tasks.
Bordo has built a strong reputation in Australia for supplying dependable industrial cutting and threading tools backed by quality manufacturing standards. Industrial Shed ensures you have fast access to trusted trade-grade taps when you need them on site or in the workshop.
