The Bordo 5/32″ × 32 BSW Taper HSS Tap is part of Bordo’s British Standard Whitworth threading range, engineered for precision internal thread cutting in imperial BSW applications. Designed to BS84:1956 BSW standards with a 55° thread angle and rounded crest/roots, this taper tap is ideal as a starting tap for workshop, maintenance and general fabrication tasks where accurate thread alignment and controlled cutting action are essential.
Manufactured from durable High Speed Steel (HSS), the tap features a taper lead (eight threads) that guides the tool smoothly into the hole, making it excellent for initiating thread cutting in challenging or high-precision holes. With a 5/32″ diameter, 32 threads per inch (TPI) pitch and a drill size of 3.2 mm, this tap is designed for reliable performance in medium tensile materials with either hand tools or general machine tapping.
Bordo has a long-standing reputation in Australia for supplying dependable industrial cutting and threading tools backed by quality manufacturing standards. Industrial Shed ensures you have fast access to trusted trade-grade taps when you need them on site or in the workshop.
