Cleveland M6x1 Spiral Point Tap
The Cleveland C55362 is a spiral point tap designed for creating M6x1 metric threads in through-hole applications. It suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need reliable thread cutting in general-purpose materials. The right-hand cut design and two-flute geometry support efficient chip evacuation forward through the hole.
Thread limit D5 for 6H class fit
The tap is manufactured to a D5 thread limit, matching a 6H class of fit for standard metric tolerance. This single specification determines whether the thread will meet the required gauge fit for the assembly. A 5.00 mm drill size is specified for 75 percent thread engagement before tapping.
High-speed steel with TiN coating
The high-speed steel substrate with titanium nitride coating resists wear during sustained cutting, maintaining edge life longer than uncoated tools in repetitive operations. The 63.5 mm overall length and 16 mm thread length provide reach for deeper through-holes without deflection. The spiral point pushes chips ahead of the flutes, reducing torque buildup during extended production runs.

Questions about this item
What does the 63.5 mm overall length mean when the tap is in a real machine?
The 63.5 mm overall length is the total distance from the shank end to the tip, so the machine spindle or holder must provide at least that much clear travel.
What standard does the M6x1 thread size and 6H class of fit cap in practice?
The M6x1 metric coarse thread with a 6H tolerance class defines the pitch diameter limits for a standard general-purpose fit on a 6 mm bolt.
What does the 5.00 mm 75 percent thread drill size physically need to fit or mount?
A 5.00 mm drill bit must be used to create the tapped hole before this tap cuts the internal threads.
