Cleveland C57036 Spiral Point Tap M2.2x0.45 Metric Coarse

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C57036 is a spiral point tap designed for through-hole threading in metric coarse applications. It cuts an M2.2x0.45 thread and is manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. The plug chamfer style provides a gradual lead-in suited for through-hole work, while the spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting edge, reducing the risk of chip packing in the hole. With a 6H thread class of fit and a D3 thread limit, this tap produces threads that meet standard metric tolerance requirements. It is installed by machinists and tooling specialists using a standard tap wrench or tapping machine.

This tap is suited for through-hole threading in steel and non-ferrous metals. Its compact 1.75-inch overall length and 0.4375-inch thread length make it appropriate for small-diameter work in production machining, maintenance shops, and general metalworking environments. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional metric fastener threads. The Series 1011 designation identifies it within the CLEVELAND product family for this tap style and size range.

Key Features

• Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward — suited for through-hole threading operations
• M2.2x0.45 metric coarse thread form with 6H class of fit and D3 thread limit
• High speed steel construction for use in steel and non-ferrous metal workpieces
• Plug chamfer provides gradual thread engagement for controlled tap entry
• Bright uncoated finish — compatible with standard cutting fluids
• Coolant-through: No — suitable for conventional flood or manual lubrication

Compatibility

Designed for through-hole threading applications requiring an M2.2x0.45 metric coarse thread in steel and non-ferrous metal workpieces. Fits standard tap holders and tapping heads accepting a 0.1410-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed by a qualified machinist using a properly sized tap wrench, tapping head, or CNC tapping cycle. Always apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material before and during the tapping operation. Ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the work surface before engagement to avoid tap breakage, which is a significant risk at this small diameter. Do not attempt to back-tap or force the tool through a blind hole — this is a through-hole tap.
