The Bordo 8 x 0.43 BA HSS Tap Set is a comprehensive British Association (BA) threading kit from Bordo’s High Speed Steel range, engineered for precision internal BA thread cutting in fine-work and instrumentation applications. Designed for workshop, fabrication and trade use, this set provides all the essential taps you need to start, cut and finish BA 8 threads with reliability and accuracy.
Manufactured from premium High Speed Steel (HSS), the taps in this set are suitable for both hand and general machine use. The BA thread form, originally adopted by the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1884 and inspired by the Swiss watch and clock industry, features a rounded root and crest with a 47.5° thread angle — ideal for precision and fine-scale threading tasks. This set equips you with the full tapping sequence (taper, intermediate and bottoming) to achieve high-quality BA 8 × 0.43 mm threads in medium tensile materials such as aluminium, brass, bronze, plastics and mild steels.
Bordo has a strong reputation in Australia for dependable industrial tooling, and Industrial Shed ensures fast access to this trusted BA tap set whenever you need it on site or in the workshop.
