Cleveland C54413 Hand Tap M6x1.00 Taper 6H Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C54413 is a straight-flute hand tap designed for cutting M6x1.00 metric coarse threads in both blind holes and through-holes. Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it delivers clean thread formation across a range of workpiece materials. The tap runs right-hand direction with a taper chamfer, a 6H class of fit, and a D5 thread limit. Overall length is 2.5 inches with a thread length of 0.63 inches. A 4-flute straight-flute geometry provides stability and chip control during hand tapping operations. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this tap for production and maintenance threading tasks.

The C54413 is suited for threading M6x1.00 metric coarse holes in alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel. Its taper chamfer eases entry and thread alignment, making it practical for hand-tap sets in maintenance, fabrication, and general machine shop environments. It is sold individually and fits standard tap wrench drivers sized for the 0.255-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Hand taps should be installed using a correctly sized tap wrench to avoid breakage. Back the tap off periodically to break chips, particularly in blind-hole operations. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material before and during threading. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before starting the tap to maintain thread straightness.
