Cleveland M24 Plug Hand Tap

The Cleveland C54908 is a straight-flute hand tap for cutting M24 x 3.00 metric threads. It is made from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish and a right-hand thread direction. The plug chamfer suits general-purpose through-hole and blind-hole work. Machinists and maintenance technicians use it for new threads or thread repair.

Suited for manual thread cutting

This tap suits workshops that cut M24 threads by hand or with a reversible tapping head. It is not for buyers who need a spiral-flute tap for deep blind holes, nor for operators who require a coated tool for high-volume production runs. The 6H class of fit meets standard tolerance requirements.

M24 x 3.00 thread size

The decisive specification is the M24 x 3.00 thread size with a 75 percent thread drill size of 53/64 inch. The thread limit is D8 and the class of fit is 6H. Overall length is 24.62 mm and thread length is 56.36 mm. Verify the drill size before tapping.

Questions about this item

Will the M24-3.00 tap threads wear out and need replacing after heavy use?

The high-speed steel straight flute tap will eventually dull; replace it when threads no longer meet the 6H class-of-fit tolerance.

What stops me from running the tap continuously in a pneumatic driver?

The 56.36 mm thread length and uncoated HSS limit sustained cutting before heat builds up and edge retention drops.

How much noise and heat does the C54908 produce when driven all day?

As an uncoated hand tap it generates only the sound and heat of the driving tool; the tap itself adds no motor noise or extra thermal load.
