The Bordo 5G x 40 UNC Taper HSS Tap is a professional-grade Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread cutting tool engineered for precision internal thread starts in medium tensile materials. Designed for workshop, fabrication and general industrial use, this taper tap is ideal for initiating UNC threads with controlled engagement and dependable performance — especially where accurate entry and reduced tap breakage are required. ([turn0search9], [turn0search14])
Manufactured from durable High-Speed Steel (HSS), this UNC taper tap utilises the internationally recognised Unified National Coarse thread form, which was introduced in 1948 to standardise inch-based threads across the USA, Canada and other regions. The thread profile uses a major diameter combined with 40 threads per inch (TPI), providing strong tensile engagement and compatibility with common fasteners. The taper lead design with eight gradually engaging threads assists smooth entry into holes — particularly in materials such as mild steel, aluminium, bronze, brass and plastics. With a 5G nominal diameter, 40 TPI and an approximate drill diameter of 2.65 mm (0.104″), this tap is suitable for hand or general machine tapping operations. ([turn0search0], [turn0search9])
