Cleveland M12 Straight Flute Hand Tap

This Cleveland C54690 straight flute hand tap cuts M12 x 1.75 metric threads with a plug chamfer for through-hole and blind-hole starts. The high-speed steel body is uncoated and built for right-hand threading in general-purpose materials. Overall length measures 85.72 mm with a 42.07 mm thread length.

Check thread size and drill diameter

Verify the workpiece requires M12 x 1.75 threads and that the tap drill size is 10.30 mm for a 75 percent thread depth. Confirm the machine or hand holder can accommodate the 85.72 mm overall length and that the D6 thread limit with 6H class of fit matches the engineering specification.

Suited for maintenance and low-volume threading

Mechanics and toolroom staff cutting occasional M12 metric threads in steel or non-ferrous metals will find this tap reliable. It is not intended for high-production CNC tapping, spiral-point chip evacuation in deep blind holes, or coated-performance requirements. Buyers needing bottoming chamfers or left-hand threads should select a different model.

Questions about this item

Does the tap come with the 10.30 mm drill bit needed for the 75 percent thread depth?

No, the package contains only the M12 x 1.75 plug tap; the 10.30 mm drill bit must be purchased separately.

When should I choose the plug version over a taper or bottoming tap for this M12 thread?

The plug chamfer is the general-purpose choice; it starts threads more easily than a bottoming tap and works for both through and blind holes.

What does the 85.72 mm overall length mean when the tap is mounted in a T-handle or machine spindle?

The 85.72 mm length provides enough reach for most hand-tapping jobs while keeping the tool short enough for good control in a standard T-handle.
