HSS suits general steel and aluminium; HSS-Co is required for stainless and hard alloys. The pitch must match the thread specification — metric coarse is the default; metric fine is used where vibration resistance or greater thread engagement per unit length is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bordo","offers":[{"title":"5","offer_id":49406888739093,"sku":"A0203021","price":131.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6","offer_id":49406888771861,"sku":"A0203022","price":131.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8","offer_id":49406888804629,"sku":"A0203023","price":109.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 x 1mm (Pitch)","offer_id":49406888837397,"sku":"A0203024","price":144.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 x 1.25mm (Pitch)","offer_id":49406888870165,"sku":"A0203025","price":156.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12","offer_id":49406888902933,"sku":"A0203026","price":244.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/5191\/1957\/files\/bordo-hss-cobalt-metric-fine-spiral-flute-tap-3221-4106744.jpg?v=1773125540","url":"https:\/\/aimsindustrial.com.au\/en-nz\/products\/bordo-hss-cobalt-metric-fine-spiral-flute-tap-3221","provider":"AIMS Industrial Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
