Cleveland C57189 Spiral Point Tap M10x1.5 Metric 3 Flute

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C57189 is a spiral point tap designed for through-hole threading in metric coarse applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it cuts M10 x 1.5 threads to a 6H class of fit with a D6 thread limit. The plug chamfer style provides a gradual lead-in, making it well suited for production tapping in through holes where the tap can push chips ahead of the cutting edge. Overall length is 2.9375 inches with a thread length of 1.25 inches. This is a right-hand tap from Cleveland Series 1011, a widely used industrial tooling line.

This tap is intended for threading through-holes in steel and non-ferrous metals. It performs reliably in manual tapping operations and in machine tapping setups such as CNC machining centers, drill presses, and tapping heads. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward through the hole rather than packing them into the flutes, reducing the risk of chip clogging and tap breakage in production environments. Machinists, toolroom techs, and manufacturing maintenance personnel are the primary users of this tap style.

Key Features

• Spiral point geometry pushes chips ahead for clean through-hole threading
• M10 x 1.5 metric coarse thread form, 6H class of fit, D6 thread limit
• High speed steel construction for general-purpose metal cutting
• Plug chamfer for smooth lead-in and reliable thread starting
• 3-flute design balances chip clearance with tool strength
• Right-hand thread direction; no coolant-through feature

Compatibility

Designed for through-hole threading in steel and non-ferrous metal workpieces requiring M10 x 1.5 metric coarse threads. Fits standard tap holders and chucks accepting a 0.381-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed and used by machinists and maintenance technicians performing threading operations. Always secure the workpiece and ensure the correct tap drill size for M10 x 1.5 is used before tapping. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. In machine tapping applications, verify spindle speed and feed rate are set for the tap size and material before engaging the tool.
