Designed as a starting tap, its taper lead makes entering the workpiece easier — reducing the chance of cross-threading and tap breakage in challenging or precision holes. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured from premium High Speed Steel (HSS), this metric coarse (MC) taper tap features a 60° thread angle with a flat crest and root clearance that allows strong engagement between internal and external threads while enhancing overall thread strength. Its 18 mm nominal diameter with a 2.5 mm pitch makes it ideal for medium-tensile materials, and it is suitable for use in both hand and general machine tapping operations. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eBordo is recognised for dependable threading and cutting tools manufactured to consistent industrial standards, and Industrial Shed ensures fast access to these trusted trade-grade taps when you need them on site or in the workshop. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e HSS Taper Tap (Hand \u0026amp; Machine)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bordo\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 mm\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Form:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metric Coarse (MC)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taper (eight threads lead-in)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High Speed Steel (HSS)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~112 mm\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.75 mm\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3020-18.00T\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Initiating and cutting metric coarse internal threads in medium tensile materials\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e► Key Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n‣ 18 mm diameter with 2.5 mm metric coarse thread pitch\u003cbr\u003e\r\n‣ HSS construction for strength, heat resistance and durability\u003cbr\u003e\r\n‣ Taper lead design for smoother thread starts and reduced tapping stress\u003cbr\u003e\r\n‣ 60° thread angle with flat crest and root clearance for positive engagement\u003cbr\u003e\r\n‣ Suitable for use in hand and general machine tapping operations\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e► Why Tradies and Contractors Buy This\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n‣ Reliable metric threading solution for fabrication, maintenance \u0026amp; mechanical work\u003cbr\u003e\r\n‣ Smooth entry reduces start-up errors and tool stress\u003cbr\u003e\r\n‣ Excellent balance of strength and performance for general use\u003cbr\u003e\r\n‣ Trusted industrial tooling from Bordo\u003cbr\u003e\r\n‣ Backed by Industrial Shed’s fast dispatch and trade support\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e► Stock won’t last — get yours now at Industrial Shed!\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bordo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51441083580705,"sku":"3020-18.00T","price":143.47,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/4562\/8449\/files\/3020_taper_dfd601bd-9e8b-4a92-915d-59b5d180b04e.jpg?v=1756740673","url":"https:\/\/www.industrialshed.net.au\/products\/bordo-3020-18-00t","provider":"Industrial Shed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
