The Bordo 5 x 0.59 BA Taper HSS Tap is a precision threading tool from Bordo’s High Speed Steel range, engineered to cut accurate British Association (BA) threads with ease. Ideal for use in precision engineering, instrumentation, aerospace fixtures and other fine-work applications, this taper tap provides a smooth thread start and reliable performance in both workshop and trade environments.
Manufactured from premium High Speed Steel (HSS), this BA taper tap features a tapered lead (approximately eight threads) that helps ease the tool into the workpiece, making it perfect as the first tap in a threading sequence — especially in difficult entry points or high-precision holes. The BA thread form (5 × 0.59 mm pitch) was adopted historically for precision equipment and remains a go-to for small, fine threading tasks where traditional metric or imperial threads aren’t suited. Designed for both hand and general machine use, this tap performs reliably across medium tensile materials.
Bordo is a trusted industrial tooling brand in Australia, known for quality-engineered cutting and threading tools. Industrial Shed ensures fast access to this essential BA taper tap for professionals and tradespeople when you need it on-site or in the workshop.
