Cleveland M8x1.25 Spiral Point Tap

The Cleveland C96141 is a spiral point tap designed for creating internal threads in through-hole applications. It features a metric coarse thread size of M8x1.25 with three flutes and an overall length of 90.00 mm. The tool is manufactured from HSS-E material with a black oxide finish for wear resistance.

Suited for metric through-hole threading

This tap suits machinists and maintenance technicians cutting M8x1.25 threads in through holes where chip evacuation ahead of the tool is preferred. It is not intended for blind-hole work where chips must be pulled upward, nor for left-hand thread requirements. Users needing a different thread pitch, diameter, or flute count should select an alternative tool.

Handles M8x1.25 through holes in standard materials

The 35.00 mm thread length and 6H class of fit provide accurate threads in general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The HSS-E substrate offers good heat resistance for moderate cutting speeds. Very hard alloys, high-volume production runs, or exotic materials may exceed the tool's wear life and require a coated or carbide alternative.

Questions about this item

What size drill bit do I need before tapping with the M8x1.25 spiral point tap?

Use a size H drill bit, which matches the 75 percent thread drill size specified for this tap.

Will this 90.00 mm overall length tap reach threads in a standard M8 through-hole?

Yes, the 35.00 mm thread length covers typical through-hole depths while the plug chamfer starts threads easily.

How can I confirm the tap is cutting to the correct 6H class of fit?

Check the finished threads with a 6H go/no-go gauge; the go gauge should enter fully and the no-go gauge should not.
