HSS Tap MF Taper-8x1
Bordo HSS Tap – Metric Fine – Taper – 8 x 1.0mm
The Bordo 8 x 1.0mm HSS Taper Tap is specifically designed for starting accurate internal threads to fine pitch specifications, making it ideal for automotive, precision engineering, and mechanical applications. Manufactured from high-quality high-speed steel (HSS), it offers excellent hardness, durability, and wear resistance, even when cutting into tougher materials such as stainless steel.
Featuring a long lead of approximately 7–10 threads, this taper tap provides a smooth, gradual cutting action that reduces tool load, improves alignment, and ensures a clean thread start. Produced to metric fine (MF) specifications, it is suited for M8 fasteners with a 1.0mm pitch, giving closer thread spacing than standard coarse pitch threads.
Key Features:
Size: M8 x 1.0mm (Metric Fine)
Type: Taper tap – long lead for smooth starting and improved alignment
Material: High-speed steel for strength and wear resistance
Thread Pitch: 1.0mm (metric fine for M8)

Use: First stage in hand or machine tapping sequences
Precision: Ground flutes for smooth cutting and accurate thread geometry
Reliable, accurate, and easy to use, the Bordo HSS M8 x 1.0mm Taper Tap is the essential first step for producing fine pitch professional-quality threads.
