Straight Flute Hand Tap M16-1.50

This Cleveland C54797 is a straight flute hand tap designed for creating internal metric threads. It suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need to cut M16 threads with a 1.50 mm pitch in through holes or blind holes where chip clearance is manageable.

Sustained cutting performance

The high speed steel construction maintains hardness during repeated threading operations. Its bright uncoated finish works adequately in low-carbon steels and non-ferrous metals where coolant can be applied. The straight flute geometry pushes chips ahead of the cut, which can load the flutes in deep blind holes during long production runs.

Thread limit D6 class 6H fit

The D6 thread limit produces a 6H class of fit, determining whether the finished thread meets the required tolerance for the mating fastener. A 75 percent thread drill size of 14.50 mm is specified for the tapping hole. This single specification decides if the tap matches the engineering drawing requirements.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the M16x1.50 tap generate during continuous pneumatic tapping?

The high-speed steel body dissipates heat through the workpiece; cutting fluid is recommended for sustained use to prevent overheating the 46.04 mm thread zone.

What pneumatic tool holder or chuck is required to drive the 96.84 mm overall length tap?

A compatible pneumatic tapping head or reversible air drill with a square-drive adapter matching the tap shank is needed; the tool is not included.

Will the D6 thread limit and 6H class of fit match threads cut by older M16x1.5 dies?

The D6 limit produces a 6H internal thread that assembles with standard 6g external threads from older dies when both follow ISO metric tolerances.
