The Bordo 1/8″ × 40 BSW HSS Tap Set is part of Bordo’s British Standard Whitworth (BSW) threading range, engineered to provide a complete tapping solution for imperial BSW threads in general workshop and maintenance applications. Designed to BS84:1956 with the traditional 55° thread angle and rounded crests/roots, this set includes multiple tap leads to cover the full thread-cutting progression — ideal for both hand tool and general machine use.
Manufactured from high quality High Speed Steel (HSS), the set is suitable for use in medium tensile materials and offers a comprehensive approach to internal thread cutting. The British Standard Whitworth thread form was developed by Sir Joseph Whitworth in 1841 and remains a trusted standard for imperial pipe and bolt threads. This tap set is designed for clean, accurate threading in a range of workshop, fabrication and engineering tasks.
Bordo has a long-standing reputation in Australia for supplying reliable industrial cutting and threading tools backed by quality manufacturing standards. Industrial Shed ensures you have fast access to trusted trade-grade tap sets when you need them on site or in the workshop.
