The Bordo 16 x 1.5 mm MF Bottoming HSS Tap is a professional-grade Metric Fine (MF) bottoming thread cutting tool engineered for producing full-depth, accurate internal threads — especially at the bottom of blind holes. Designed for workshop, fabrication and general industrial use, this tap delivers precision threading performance where controlled engagement and minimal thread run-out are essential.
Manufactured from durable high-speed steel (HSS), this bottoming tap features a 60° Metric Fine thread angle with a flat thread crest and engineered root clearance that promotes smooth engagement between internal and external threads. The larger root radius and lower thread height improve chip flow and increase thread strength, making it ideal for tapping to the bottom of blind holes. Bottoming taps have a two-thread lead, and they are typically used after a taper or intermediate tap has initiated the thread form. With a 16 mm diameter, 1.5 mm pitch, 14.5 mm drill size and an overall length of 102 mm, this tap is suitable for hand or general machine use in medium tensile materials.
Bordo is recognised in Australia for producing robust industrial tooling backed by strong manufacturing standards. Industrial Shed ensures you have fast access to dependable trade-grade threading tools when you need them on site or in the workshop.
