The Bordo 7/8″ × 9 BSW Bottoming HSS Tap is a precision-engineered British Standard Whitworth (BSW) bottoming hand and machine threading tap designed for creating full-depth, high-quality internal threads with minimal thread run-out in blind holes. Built to classic BSW standards with a bottoming lead, this tap is ideal for workshop, fabrication, maintenance and general trade applications where strong, accurate threads are required.
Manufactured from durable High Speed Steel (HSS), this BSW bottoming tap features the traditional Whitworth thread form — characterised by a 55° thread angle with rounded roots and crests — offering excellent thread engagement and strength. Bottoming taps have a lead of two threads and are typically used after a taper or intermediate tap to finish threads to the bottom of blind holes. Suitable for both hand tapping and general machine use, this tap delivers dependable performance across medium tensile materials.
Bordo is a trusted industrial tooling brand in Australia, known for consistent quality and dependable performance under trade and workshop conditions. Industrial Shed ensures fast access to trusted Bordo threading tools when you need them on site or in the workshop.
