The Bordo 1-1/2" x 6 BSW Intermediate HSS Tap is a heavy-duty British Standard Whitworth (BSW) intermediate hand and machine tap engineered to cut strong, accurate internal threads in medium tensile materials. Designed for general purpose threading applications, this tap delivers dependable performance when cutting traditional BSW threads true to a correctly pre-drilled pilot hole — perfect for mechanical, fabrication, and maintenance work using BSW thread standards.
Manufactured from premium High Speed Steel (HSS), this intermediate tap uses the classic BSW thread form, which features a **55° thread angle with rounded roots and crests**, offering greater thread strength and better load distribution than sharper thread forms. The intermediate lead (four threads) ensures balanced engagement and smooth cutting action, making it suitable for both hand tapping and general machine use in medium tensile materials.
Bordo is a trusted name in precision tooling, producing quality engineered taps and dies that meet industrial standards. Industrial Shed ensures you have fast access to this reliable BSW intermediate tap when you need accurate threading performance on site or in the workshop.
