Cleveland C54073 Straight Flute Hand Tap M2x0.4

The Cleveland C54073 is a straight flute hand tap designed to cut M2x0.4 metric threads. It suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need to create internal threads in small components.

High-speed steel construction with bright finish

Made from high speed steel with a bright uncoated surface, the tap offers durability for general-purpose threading. The taper chamfer with three flutes helps start threads smoothly, while the 44.45 mm overall length and 11.11 mm thread length provide reach for shallow holes. A 75 percent thread drill size of 1.60 mm and D3 thread limit ensure a 6H class of fit.

Replaces worn or missing M2x0.4 taps

This tap replaces a damaged or lost M2x0.4 straight flute tap in a tool kit. The jump is worth it when the existing tap no longer cuts clean threads to the 6H tolerance or when a new job requires a fresh D3 limit tool for consistent results.

Questions about this item

What thread standard does the M2x0.4 tap follow, and what class of fit does it produce?

The tap cuts metric M2x0.4 threads to a 6H class of fit with a D3 thread limit.

What drill size and shank dimensions are required for the 1.60 mm tap drill?

Use a 1.60 mm drill for 75 percent thread; the tap has an 11.11 mm thread length and 44.45 mm overall length.

How should the taper tap be started to avoid misaligned threads?

Apply steady axial pressure while keeping the tap perpendicular to the workpiece; the taper lead eases entry but misalignment ruins the thread.
