The Bordo 5/32" x 32 BSW Intermediate HSS Tap is a professional-grade British Standard Whitworth (BSW) threading tool designed for precision internal thread cutting in medium tensile materials. Built for workshop, fabrication and general industrial use, this intermediate tap produces accurate Whitworth threads with reliable engagement — ideal for threads cut true to a pre-drilled pilot hole.
Manufactured from durable high-speed steel (HSS), this tap features the classic BSW thread form with a 55° thread angle and rounded roots and crests — a traditional Whitworth standard originally developed by Sir Joseph Whitworth in 1841 and specified under BS84:1956. Intermediate taps have a lead of four threads, making them suitable for most general purpose applications where controlled cutting and strong thread form are important. The 5/32" diameter with 32 threads per inch (TPI) makes this tap appropriate for use in metals and other machinable materials, and suitable for both hand and general machine tapping operations.
Bordo is recognised in Australia for producing robust industrial tooling backed by strong manufacturing standards. Industrial Shed ensures you have fast access to dependable trade-grade threading tools when you need them on site or in the workshop.
