The Bordo 7/8″ × 9 BSW Taper HSS Tap is part of Bordo’s British Standard Whitworth (BSW) threading range, engineered to deliver reliable internal thread cutting in imperial BSW applications. Designed to BS84:1956 BSW standards, this taper tap features the classic 55° thread angle with rounded roots and crests — making it ideal for starting internal threads in workshop, fabrication and maintenance tasks where controlled penetration and precision entry are critical.
Manufactured from premium High Speed Steel (HSS) for strength and wear-resistance, this 7/8″ diameter tap provides a 9 threads-per-inch BSW profile with a taper lead (eight threads) that helps guide the tool smoothly into the material — perfect for initiating threads in difficult or high-precision holes. Suitable for use with hand tools and general machine tapping in medium tensile materials, it delivers dependable performance on a range of engineering and fabrication projects.
Bordo has a long reputation in Australia for supplying dependable industrial cutting and threading tools backed by recognised manufacturing quality. Industrial Shed ensures you have fast access to trusted trade-grade taps when you need them on site or in the workshop.
