Application of uses 

• B.S.B (British Standard Cycle) – Whitworth Form
• Bicycle Manufacturing & Repair
• Used for tapping fine threads on cycle parts such as frame fittings, pedals, hubs, and brackets.
• Ideal for restoring or repairing damaged threads on vintage or imported bicycles using BSB thread standards.
• Precision Engineering
• Suitable for components requiring fine-pitch Whitworth threads where high accuracy and thread integrity are critical.
• Threading Cycle Accessories
• Used in producing or maintaining accessories like light brackets, mudguard fittings, and handlebar attachments.
• Maintenance & Workshop Use
• Commonly used in repair shops, tool rooms, and maintenance departments for re-threading or creating new threads in cycle components.
• Model Engineering & Hobby Work
• Favored by hobbyists and model makers for small-scale mechanical projects that follow British thread standards.
• Restoration Projects
• Essential in restoring classic British bicycles and machinery that originally used BSB (British Standard Cycle) threads.
• Light Mechanical Assemblies
• Useful in assembling light-duty mechanical parts where fine threads are preferred for precision and vibration resistance.
