Cleveland M18x2.5 Straight Flute Tap

The Cleveland 54833 is a straight-flute hand tap for cutting M18x2.50 metric threads in through-holes. It is made from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish and a right-hand thread direction. The tool suits maintenance technicians and machinists who need a standard taper tap for general-purpose threading work.

Build and Fit Details

The tap has an overall length of 102.39 mm and a thread length of 46.04 mm, giving a compact profile for hand use. It is manufactured to a D7 thread limit for a 6H class of fit, and the recommended drill size for 75 percent thread engagement is 15.50 mm. The straight-flute design allows easy chip evacuation in through-hole applications.

Manual Operation Characteristics

As a hand tap, it requires no external power and produces no operational noise or heat beyond the cutting action itself. Power draw and thermal load depend entirely on the workpiece material and the force applied by the operator. The high-speed steel construction resists wear during repeated manual threading cycles.
