Cleveland M18x1.5 Straight Flute Hand Tap
The Cleveland C54825 is a straight flute hand tap designed for cutting internal metric threads. It features an M18x1.5 thread size with a 6H class of fit and a D6 thread limit. Made from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it has an overall length of 102.39 mm and a thread length of 46.04 mm. It is a right-hand taper tap suitable for general purpose threading tasks.
Suited for metric M18x1.5 threads.
This tap suits machinists and maintenance technicians cutting new M18x1.5 threads by hand or on a drill press. The 75 percent thread drill size of 16.50 mm guides hole preparation. It is not for chasing existing threads, nor for thread forms other than metric coarse. Users needing spiral point or spiral flute taps for chip evacuation in deep or blind holes should select a different geometry.
M18x1.5 metric thread size with 6H fit
The decisive specification is the M18x1.5 metric thread size combined with a 6H class of fit and D6 limit. This defines the exact pitch diameter and tolerance zone the tap will produce. Verify the workpiece material and hole depth match straight flute capabilities before purchase. The 102.39 mm overall length and 46.04 mm thread length determine reach into the hole.

Questions about this item
At what thread depth does the 46.04 mm thread length limit full engagement in an M18x1.5 hole?
The 46.04 mm thread length allows about 25 full threads; deeper holes need a bottoming tap to finish.
How hot does the high-speed steel body get during all-day hand tapping of M18x1.5 threads?
Hand speed keeps heat low; the uncoated HSS stays warm but not hot enough to lose temper.
Which 16.50 mm drill bit must I own to prepare the 75 percent thread hole for this tap?
A 16.50 mm metric drill produces the correct 75 percent thread depth for M18x1.5.
