Cleveland C54867 Metric Tap Set M20 X 2.50 Hss 3 Pc

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C54867 is a 3-piece metric tap set designed for cutting internal threads in metal workpieces. The set includes bottoming, plug, and taper chamfer taps, allowing machinists and maintenance professionals to start, advance, and finish a threaded hole in sequence. Each tap is ground from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish and features 4 flutes for efficient chip evacuation. The thread size is M20 x 2.50 with a right-hand thread direction and a D7 thread limit. Overall length is 4.4688 inches (113.51 mm), and the thread length is 2 inches.

This tap set is suited for machine shop, maintenance, repair, and manufacturing operations requiring metric internal threads. The M20 x 2.50 size is commonly used in heavy-duty mechanical assemblies, structural fastening, and equipment repair work. The three-chamfer set approach is standard practice when threading by hand or with a tapping machine, particularly in through-holes and blind holes that require a fully formed thread to the bottom.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for metric M20 x 2.50 tapping applications in machining and maintenance environments.

Installation Notes

Tap installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with threading operations. Always secure the workpiece firmly and align the tap perpendicular to the drilled hole before beginning. Use appropriate cutting fluid to reduce friction and extend tap life. Back the tap off periodically to break chips, especially in blind-hole applications, and never force a tap against resistance to avoid breakage.
