The Bordo 18 x 1.5 mm MF Taper HSS Tap is a premium metric fine taper hand and machine tap designed for accurate and reliable thread cutting in medium tensile materials. Built to ISO metric fine standards, this taper tap offers an easy thread start and excellent alignment — ideal for precision workshop applications and general threading tasks.
Manufactured from durable High Speed Steel (HSS) with a straight taper flute design, this metric fine taper tap features a 60° thread angle with a flat crest and root clearance, allowing smooth engagement between internal and external threads. The larger root radius and optimized thread height enhance strength and improve ease of cutting, particularly in challenging or precision holes. Taper taps are designed with a longer lead — typically eight threads — making them perfect starters for threading before using intermediate or bottoming taps.
Bordo is a trusted Australian industrial tooling brand known for consistent quality and dependable performance for trade professionals and workshops alike. Industrial Shed ensures you have fast access to Bordo’s professional grade taper taps when you need them on site or in the workshop.
