HSS Tap MC Taper-8x1.25
Bordo HSS Tap – Metric Coarse – Taper – 8 x 1.25mm
The Bordo 8 x 1.25mm HSS Taper Tap is purpose-built for starting precise internal threads in medium-to-large holes, ideal for general engineering, fabrication, and repair work. Manufactured from premium high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and durability, even when threading tough materials such as stainless steel.
With a long lead of approximately 7–10 threads, this taper tap ensures a smooth, gradual cutting action that reduces tool load, improves alignment, and allows for accurate thread starts. Produced to metric coarse (MC) specifications, it is suited for M8 fasteners with a 1.25mm pitch.
