The Bordo ⅝″ x 14 BSPF Taper HSS Tap is a professional threading tool from Bordo’s High Speed Steel range, engineered for cutting fine British Standard Pipe Fine (BSPF) threads with precision and durability. Designed for workshop and trade use, this taper tap provides a smooth thread start and dependable performance across a wide range of medium tensile materials.
Manufactured from premium High Speed Steel (HSS), this BSPF taper tap features a generous taper lead (typically eight threads) that helps ease the tap into the workpiece — making it ideal as the first tap in a sequence or for starting threads where alignment and entry are critical. The ⅝″ major diameter with 14 threads per inch (TPI) conforms to the BSPF standard widely used for mechanical couplings and pipe thread connections. Built for both hand and general machine use, this tool combines strength, wear resistance and reliable threading performance.
Bordo has a trusted reputation in Australia for quality-engineered cutting and threading tools, and Industrial Shed ensures you have fast access to this essential BSPF taper tap when you need it on site or in the workshop.
