THREADING TAPS 5/32 METRO BSW
A 5/32 inch Metro BSW threading tap is a precision-cut tool used to cut internal threads in holes of metal, plastic or other machinable materials. It creates BSW (British Standard Whitworth) threads of 5/32″ nominal size. Typically used in repair work, manufacturing, maintenance, metalworking, or DIY tasks where internal threads are required for bolts or screws with matching BSW thread standards.
The tap ensures accurate, clean threading for nuts, bolts, or components needing threaded internal holes. It is essential for workshops, fabrication, mechanical repairs, and maintenance tasks.
