Cleveland C54205 M3.5 Bottoming Tap
The Cleveland C54205 is a straight-flute hand tap for cutting M3.5 x 0.6 metric threads in through or blind holes. It is made from high-speed steel with a bright finish and a right-hand cutting direction. The bottoming chamfer allows threading close to the bottom of a blind hole. This tool suits maintenance technicians and machinists producing 6H class threads.
Replaces worn or undersized M3.5 taps
Swap this tap in when an existing M3.5 tool no longer holds the D4 limit or leaves rough flanks. The 9.65 mm thread length and 50.8 mm overall length match standard hand-tapping requirements. A 2.90 mm drill size prepares the 75 percent thread engagement the design expects. The upgrade is worth it when thread gauges reject parts cut with the old tap.
For manual M3.5 metric threading only
This tap fits operators cutting M3.5 x 0.6 threads by hand or with a reversible tapping head. It does not suit automated high-speed tapping cycles that require coated or spiral-flute geometry. Buyers needing different thread pitches, larger diameters, or left-hand threads should select another tool.

Questions about this item
What size tap drill do I need for the M3.5 x 0.6 thread?
Use a 2.90 mm drill to achieve the 75 percent thread depth specified for this tap.
How do I start the tap straight in the hole?
Apply steady axial pressure while turning the square drive by hand; the straight flutes will not pull the tap, so any tilt at the start will cut a crooked thread.
When should I replace this bottoming tap?
Replace it when the cutting edges on the 9.65 mm thread length become dull or chipped, as a worn bottoming tap cannot clean out the last threads of a blind hole.
