Cleveland 86141 M8x1.25 Spiral Point Tap

This Cleveland 86141 tap cuts M8x1.25 metric threads in through holes. The spiral point design pushes chips ahead of the tool for smoother cutting. Cobalt construction with TiAlN coating resists heat and wear in steel and stainless steel. It suits maintenance technicians and machinists who need reliable thread creation.

Cobalt body with TiAlN coating

The cobalt substrate handles higher cutting temperatures than standard high-speed steel. TiAlN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in abrasive alloys. A 90 mm overall length and 35 mm thread length reach standard hole depths. Three flutes provide chip clearance and cutting stability during operation.

Class 6H fit with 75 percent thread drill size H

This tap produces a 6H class of fit for general-purpose metric assemblies. The 75 percent thread drill size H matches standard tap drill charts for M8x1.25 threads. Right-hand spiral point geometry is intended for through-hole applications only. Blind holes require a different tap style to avoid chip packing.

Questions about this item

What thread standard does the M8x1.25 spiral-point tap follow?

It cuts a metric M8x1.25 thread to a 6H class of fit, matching the 6H thread limit specified for the tap.

What drill size and shank clearance are needed for this tap?

Use the 75 % thread drill size marked H; the tap’s 90 mm overall length and 35 mm thread length determine the hole depth and holder reach required.

How do you start the tap so chips clear forward instead of packing?

Align the plug-chamfered spiral-point tap square to the hole, apply steady forward pressure with cutting fluid, and let the angular flutes push chips ahead of the cut.
