The Bordo 2" x 4.5 BSW Taper HSS Tap is designed as a starting tap for Whitworth threads in difficult or high-precision holes. The taper lead helps guide the tap into the pilot hole smoothly for controlled thread alignment.
Made from High Speed Steel (HSS) for general-purpose performance, it’s suitable for hand or general machine use in medium tensile materials. The BSW Whitworth form (55°) supports traditional/legacy threading requirements commonly found in industrial maintenance and repair.
When accuracy matters on large Whitworth threads, Bordo’s HSS taps help deliver consistent results. Industrial Shed keeps the thread tools you need moving from prep to finished thread.
