Bordo HSS Tap – Metric Coarse – Taper – 16 x 2.0mm

The Bordo 16 x 2.0mm HSS Taper Tap is designed for starting precise internal threads in materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and non-ferrous metals. Manufactured from premium high-speed steel (HSS), it offers outstanding hardness, wear resistance, and long service life, making it ideal for both workshop and on-site use in hand or machine tapping applications.

With a long lead of approximately 7–10 threads, this taper tap provides a gradual cutting action that reduces tool load, improves alignment, and helps ensure clean, accurate threads. It is the preferred first stage in a threading sequence for through-holes, or for initiating blind holes before progressing to intermediate and bottoming taps. Made to metric coarse (MC) standards, it is perfectly matched for M16 fasteners with a 2.0mm pitch.
