The Bordo 3/16" x 24 BSW HSS Tap Set is a professional-grade British Standard Whitworth (BSW) hand and machine threading kit engineered for precision internal threading in medium tensile materials. Designed for workshop, fabrication and general industrial use, this set provides a complete trio of BSW taps that deliver reliable and accurate internal thread cutting for a wide range of applications.
Manufactured from durable High-Speed Steel (HSS), this kit features taps with classic BSW thread form — characterised by a 55° thread angle with rounded roots and crests, as originally developed by Sir Joseph Whitworth and specified in BS84:1956. The set typically includes taper, intermediate and bottoming taps, covering thread starts, general threading and full-depth threads to the bottom of blind holes. With a 3/16" nominal diameter and 24 threads per inch (TPI), these taps are suitable for both hand and general machine use in metals and other machinable materials.
Bordo is recognised in Australia for supplying high-quality industrial tooling backed by strict manufacturing standards. Industrial Shed ensures you have fast access to trusted trade-grade threading tools when you need them on site or in the workshop.
