Cleveland C54539 Metric Tap Set 4 Flute Hss 3 Piece

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C54539 is a 3-piece metric tap set designed for threading operations in metal fabrication, machining, and mechanical assembly work. Each tap is ground from high speed steel (HSS) and carries a bright finish, offering reliable wear resistance for general-purpose tapping in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The set includes all three chamfer styles — bottoming, plug, and taper — giving machinists and maintenance technicians the full sequence needed to start, advance, and finish a thread in a single kit. Overall length is 2.72 inches (69.09 mm), and the 4-flute geometry promotes chip clearance and thread accuracy. Thread direction is right hand with a D5 thread limit.

This tap set is suited for metric threading applications in production shops, maintenance facilities, and tool rooms. The inclusion of bottoming, plug, and taper taps in one set supports through-hole and blind-hole threading workflows. The Series 1004 design conforms to standard metric thread specifications, making it a practical choice for technicians working to metric fastener standards in automotive, industrial, and general mechanical service environments.

Installation Notes

Tap installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician. Always secure the workpiece firmly and use appropriate cutting fluid to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Back the tap out periodically to break and clear chips, especially in blind-hole applications. Inspect taps for chipping or wear before each use and replace any tap that shows signs of damage to avoid thread damage or tap breakage.
