The Bordo 3 x 0.5 mm MC Intermediate HSS Tap is part of Bordo’s professional High Speed Steel tapping range, engineered for general-purpose internal thread cutting in workshop, fabrication and maintenance applications. Designed for consistent performance and reliability, this intermediate tap is ideal for tradespeople and technicians needing precision M3 metric coarse threads.
Manufactured from premium High Speed Steel (HSS), this intermediate tap features a lead of four threads that balances ease of entry with full thread engagement — making it suitable for cutting accurate internal threads to a pre-drilled pilot hole. The 60° metric coarse thread form with a flat crest and root clearance promotes strong engagement between internal and external threads, while the larger root radius and lower thread height enhance thread strength and reduce breakage risk. This design makes the tap versatile for both hand and general machine use in medium tensile materials.
Bordo has a longstanding reputation for quality threading tools backed by robust manufacturing standards, and Industrial Shed ensures fast access to trusted trade-grade taps when you need them on site or in the workshop.
