Cleveland C54753 Hand Tap M14x1.50 Bottoming Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C54753 is a straight-flute hand tap designed for cutting internal Metric Fine threads in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it produces M14 x 1.50 right-hand threads to a 6H class of fit with a D6 thread limit. The bottoming chamfer style allows threading close to the bottom of a blind hole, making it well-suited for applications where full thread depth is required right to the base. Overall length is 3.594 inches, with a thread length of 1.66 inches. Installation is performed by hand with a tap wrench.

This tap is intended for threading operations in machining, fabrication, and maintenance environments. The bottoming chamfer is the appropriate choice when a plug or taper tap has already started the thread and full depth to the bottom of a blind hole is required. It is also usable for through-hole threading. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and free-machining stainless steel, covering a wide range of common shop and field scenarios where Metric Fine threading is specified.

Key Features

• Bottoming chamfer for full-depth threading in blind holes
• High speed steel construction for durability across steel and aluminum workpieces
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids
• 4-flute straight-flute geometry for chip control in standard threading operations
• Right-hand thread direction, Metric Fine M14 x 1.50 standard
• 6H class of fit with D6 thread limit for precise tolerance compliance

Compatibility

Designed for blind hole and through-hole threading applications in alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and free-machining stainless steel where an M14 x 1.50 Metric Fine thread form is required.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician using a standard tap wrench sized for the 0.429-inch shank diameter. Secure the workpiece before tapping and apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the material being threaded. When threading blind holes, clear chips frequently to prevent tap breakage. Follow applicable shop safety procedures when operating near rotating or hand-driven cutting tools.
