Cleveland C54908 Hand Tap M24x3.00 Plug Rh 6H D8 Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C54908 is a 4-flute straight flute hand tap designed for cutting internal metric coarse threads in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built from bright, uncoated high speed steel, this plug chamfer tap generates clean, accurate M24x3.00 threads with a 6H class of fit and a D8 thread limit. With an overall length of 4.906 inches and a thread length of 2.22 inches, it is sized for production and maintenance threading operations. The right-hand cut and plug chamfer make it the standard choice for starting and completing threads in both blind and through-hole applications.

This tap is suited for use in general machining, maintenance, and fabrication environments where metric coarse threads are required. The plug chamfer style performs in both blind hole and through-hole threading scenarios. It is commonly used on machine tools, manual tapping fixtures, and hand tapping setups. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and free-machining stainless steel, making it a versatile tool for machine shops and industrial tradespeople working across a broad range of workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a standard tap wrench, tapping fixture, or machine spindle sized to accept the 0.76-inch shank and 0.57-inch square drive. Always secure the workpiece and align the tap perpendicular to the hole before beginning. Apply a suitable cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Back the tap out periodically to clear chips, particularly in blind hole applications.
