The Bordo 1/8" × 40 BSW Taper HSS Tap is a professional-grade British Standard Whitworth taper hand and machine threading tap designed for precision thread creation in medium tensile materials. Built to BSW standards with a tapered lead, this tap provides a reliable thread start — making it perfect for workshop, fabrication, maintenance and general trade applications where strong, accurate threads are essential.
Manufactured from durable High Speed Steel (HSS), this BSW taper tap features the traditional British Standard Whitworth thread form with rounded roots and crests and a 55° thread angle, providing efficient engagement and strong thread integrity. The taper lead — typically with eight progressive threads — allows easier entry and alignment for challenging or high precision holes, whether tapping by hand or with a general machine.
Bordo is a trusted name in Australian industrial tooling, known for consistent quality and dependable performance. Industrial Shed ensures fast access to professional Bordo threading tools when you need them on site or in the workshop.
