The Bordo 18mm HSSE-V3 TiAlN Coated White Band Spiral Flute Tap is part of Bordo’s Colour Band High Performance tapping range, designed for demanding industrial and engineering applications where precision, durability and efficient chip evacuation are essential. This spiral flute tap delivers reliable thread cutting performance in cast iron and similar materials, making it ideal for workshop, fabrication and production use.
Manufactured from premium HSSE-V3 (High Speed Steel with 3% Vanadium) and finished with a Titanium Aluminium Nitride (TiAlN) coating, this tap provides enhanced heat resistance, improved surface hardness and extended tool life compared to uncoated taps. The white band denotes optimisation for cast iron tapping, and the spiral flute geometry with its right-hand spiral helix helps efficiently evacuate swarf from blind holes — reducing the risk of clogging, tool breakage and poor thread finishes during use.
Bordo’s Colour Band High Performance Taps are manufactured to strict quality standards and engineered to withstand the elevated stresses and heat associated with CNC and production tapping. Industrial Shed ensures fast access to these trusted trade-grade tapping tools when you need them on site or in the workshop.
