HSS Tap MC Inter-3x0.5
Bordo HSS Tap – Metric Coarse – Intermediate – 3 x 0.5mm
The Bordo 3 x 0.5mm HSS Intermediate Tap is precision-engineered for producing accurate internal threads in small-diameter holes. Manufactured from premium high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers excellent hardness, wear resistance, and a long service life, even when cutting tougher materials such as stainless steel.
With a medium lead of approximately 3–5 threads, this intermediate (second) tap is ideal for deepening and refining threads after starting with a taper tap, or as a step before finishing with a bottoming tap in blind holes. Produced to metric coarse (MC) specifications, it is perfectly suited for M3 fasteners with a 0.5mm pitch.
Key Features:
Size: M3 x 0.5mm (Metric Coarse)
Type: Intermediate (second) tap – medium lead for general-purpose threading
Material: High-speed steel for durability and wear resistance
Thread Pitch: 0.5mm (standard metric coarse for M3)
Applications: Suitable for steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, and other metals
Use: For hand or machine tapping, typically after a taper tap and before a bottoming tap
Precision: Ground flutes for smooth cutting and consistent thread profiles
Compact, accurate, and durable, the Bordo HSS M3 x 0.5mm Intermediate Tap is the perfect tool for achieving clean, professional-quality threads in fine, small-scale applications.
