BORDO INTERNATIONAL PTY LTD Bordo 6 x 1mm Metric Coarse Intermediate HSS Tap

Bordo 6 × 1mm Metric Coarse Intermediate HSS Tap

The Bordo 6 × 1mm Metric Coarse Intermediate HSS Tap is a versatile, general-purpose threading tool designed for producing accurate internal threads in a wide range of medium-tensile materials. As an intermediate (second) tap, it provides a balanced lead suitable for most workshop applications, ensuring smooth, true thread formation following a correctly drilled pilot hole.
Key Features:

• Thread Standard: Metric Coarse (MC), featuring a 60o thread angle commonly used across engineering and manufacturing applications.
• Tap Style: Intermediate lead with approximately four threads, ideal for general-purpose tapping in through-holes and most blind-hole situations.
• Material: High Speed Steel (HSS) for durability, wear resistance, and consistent cutting performance.
• Thread Form Details:
  • Flat crest with clearance at the root ensures excellent engagement between mating threads.
  • Larger root radius and lower thread height improve strength and reduce the risk of thread stripping.
  • Metric threads are defined simply by major diameter and pitch, measured in millimetres.
• Usage Notes:
  • Recommended to use with cutting compounds for longer tool life and improved surface finish.
  • Suitable for hand tapping or use with general-purpose machines.
  • Best used after a taper tap when working with blind holes for improved thread accuracy.

Technical Specifications:
