Cleveland C54755 Hand Tap M14x2.00 Taper Rh 6H D7 Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C54755 is a 4-flute straight flute hand tap designed for cutting M14x2.00 metric coarse threads in a right-hand direction. Manufactured from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this taper chamfer tap is suited for both through-hole and blind hole threading operations. It carries a 6H class of fit and a D7 thread limit, making it appropriate for standard tolerance metric thread applications. Overall length is 3.594 inches with a thread length of 1.66 inches. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals reach for this tap when threading steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless in production or repair environments.

This tap is intended for use in manual hand tapping operations across a range of material types including alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel. The taper chamfer provides gradual thread engagement, making it well suited as the starting tap in a hand tapping sequence for both through holes and blind holes. It fits standard tap wrenches sized for the 10.90 mm shank diameter. The Series 1001 designation places it within a standard general-purpose product line from CLEVELAND.

Installation Notes

Hand taps are installed and operated by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench sized to the square drive. Secure the workpiece before beginning thread cutting and apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce friction and extend tap life. Back the tap off periodically to break chips and prevent binding, particularly in blind hole applications. Never force a tap; excessive torque is the primary cause of tap breakage.
