I'm finally buying some hss cyclethread taps. to save some $$ I'll get a box set with 2 taps per size. but which choices are better for a BSA from the usual 3 choices of taper, intermediate and bottom? My guess is taper and bottom... would that be right?
thanks

Hi,
With the fine pitches , I have found that theres no real need for the taper tap, the intermediate is easy to start off with  *ex* *ex*
Works for me
