The Bordo 5 x 0.8mm MC Taper HSS Tap is a professional-grade Metric Coarse taper tap designed to deliver reliable thread cutting performance in both hand and general machine applications. Built for workshop, maintenance and on-site threading tasks, this high-speed steel (HSS) taper tap strikes an excellent balance of durability, strength and versatility for general-purpose work.
Manufactured from premium HSS with a metric coarse 60° thread form, this 5 mm diameter tap with a 0.8 mm pitch features a tapered lead — typically eight threads — which eases entry into holes and makes it ideal as a starting tap in difficult or precision locations. The flat crest and root clearance design provide strong thread engagement, while the larger root radius and reduced thread height improve strength and facilitate smoother cutting. This tap is suitable for medium tensile materials including steels, aluminium, plastics and other general fabrication materials.
Bordo is recognised for producing dependable threading tools with quality manufacturing standards. Industrial Shed ensures fast access to these trade-grade HSS taps when you need them on site or in the workshop.
