The Bordo 3 × 0.5 mm MC Taper HSS Tap is part of Bordo’s professional Metric Coarse (MC) hand and machine tapping range, engineered for reliable and efficient internal thread cutting. Designed for use in both workshop and on-site environments, this taper tap serves as the ideal starter tap in threading sequences — especially in drilled holes requiring precision alignment and gradual thread engagement.
Manufactured from premium high-speed steel (HSS), this 3 mm diameter taper tap features a 0.5 mm pitch with a 60° metric coarse thread form, offering excellent wear resistance, durability and cutting performance in medium tensile materials. The flat crest and clearance root design improve thread engagement between external and internal threads while the taper lead (typically eight threads) provides a smooth start and better alignment in difficult or precision holes. Suitable for both hand and general machine use, this tap is a versatile choice for tradespeople and technicians working on metal, aluminium, plastics and light fabrication tasks.
Bordo has a strong reputation for producing trusted cutting and threading tools backed by industrial-grade manufacturing standards. Industrial Shed ensures you have fast access to trade-grade taps when you need them on site or in the workshop.
