HSS Tap MC Taper-3x0.5
Bordo HSS Tap – Metric Coarse – Taper – 3 x 0.5mm
The Bordo 3 x 0.5mm HSS Taper Tap is designed for starting precise internal threads in small-diameter holes, ideal for fine mechanical, electronics, and precision engineering applications. Manufactured from premium high-speed steel (HSS), it offers excellent hardness, wear resistance, and durability, even when used on tougher materials such as stainless steel.
With a long lead of approximately 7–10 threads, this taper tap provides a gradual cutting action, reducing tool load, improving thread alignment, and ensuring a smooth start. Produced to metric coarse (MC) specifications, it is perfectly suited for M3 fasteners with a 0.5mm pitch.
