Cleveland M24 Straight Flute Hand Tap
The Cleveland C54909 is a straight-flute hand tap for cutting M24 × 3.00 metric threads. It is made from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish and a right-hand thread direction. The tool suits maintenance technicians and machinists who need to create internal threads by hand in a workshop or field setting. Buyers who require powered tapping, coated tooling or a different thread standard should select another product.
Installation and common issues
Start the tap square to the workpiece using a 53/64 inch drill for the 75 percent thread depth, then turn the tap by hand with a suitable wrench. The 24.62 mm overall length and 56.36 mm thread length give ample reach for through holes. Misalignment, insufficient lubrication or forcing the tap often causes broken flutes or oversize threads that fall outside the D8 limit and 6H class of fit.
Behaviour under sustained load
High-speed steel construction resists wear during repeated hand-tapping cycles, and the bright finish allows cutting fluid to cling evenly across the flutes. The straight-flute design clears chips effectively in short-chipping materials but can load up in deep or sticky cuts, so frequent reversal is needed to maintain thread quality over long production runs.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the tap is cutting the correct M24-3.00 thread after setup?
Check that the thread gauge reads 6H class of fit and that the drilled hole matches the 53/64 in size for 75 percent thread engagement.
What comes in the package and what must I supply separately?
The box contains the C54909 straight-flute hand tap only; you must provide a suitable tap wrench and the 53/64 in drill bit for the pilot hole.
Which thread specification should I select for an M24 metric hole?
Choose the M24-3.00 bottoming tap with D8 thread limit and 6H class of fit for a standard metric coarse thread.
