Cleveland C96046 M14x1.5 Spiral Point Tap

The Cleveland C96046 is a spiral point tap designed for creating M14x1.5 metric threads. It features a cobalt construction with a Hard Lube coating for durability. The tap has an overall length of 110 mm and a thread length of 45.01 mm. It is suited for general-purpose threading tasks in a workshop.

Suited for through-hole threading in compatible

This tap suits machinists cutting M14x1.5 threads in through-holes where chip evacuation ahead of the tool is required. The 75 percent thread drill size is 12.50 mm with a 6H class of fit. It is not intended for blind-hole applications where chips must be pulled upward. Buyers needing a different thread pitch or diameter should select another tool.

3-flute geometry with 6H thread limit

The three-flute design provides balanced cutting action for the specified M14x1.5 size. The 6H thread limit defines the tolerance zone for the finished internal thread. Verify that the 12.50 mm drill size matches your workpiece preparation before use. This specification determines whether the tap produces the correct fit for your fastener.

Questions about this item

Does the M14x1.5 spiral point tap generate much heat when tapping deep holes all day?

The cobalt body and Hard Lube coating reduce friction, so the tap runs cooler during extended production runs on steel or stainless workpieces.

What drill bit must I already have to prepare the hole for this M14x1.5 tap?

You need a 12.50 mm drill to produce the 75 percent thread drill size specified for the 6H class of fit.

Will the 110 mm overall length and 45.01 mm thread length reach through my older fixture plates?

The 110 mm overall length and 45.01 mm thread length suit standard through-hole depths; verify your fixture stack-up against those dimensions.
