Cleveland C86237 M5 Spiral Point Tap

The Cleveland C86237 is a metric spiral point tap designed for creating M5x0.8 threads in through holes. Its cobalt construction with black oxide finish provides wear resistance for general-purpose tapping tasks. The 70 mm overall length and 26.01 mm thread length suit standard tapping operations. Three flutes deliver efficient chip evacuation forward through the hole.

Check thread size and drill requirement

Verify that the required thread is M5x0.8 metric with a 6H class of fit before ordering. The tap needs a 4.20 mm drill size to achieve 75 percent thread engagement. Ensure your tap holder or wrench accommodates the 70 mm overall length. Confirm the workpiece material is compatible with cobalt tooling and right-hand threading direction.

Suits through-hole metric threading

This tap suits machinists and maintenance technicians cutting M5x0.8 threads in through holes where forward chip ejection is preferred. It is not intended for blind holes where chips must be pulled upward. Buyers needing different thread pitches, diameters or left-hand threads should select alternative tooling. Users requiring taper or bottoming chamfers will need separate tap styles.

Questions about this item

What comes with the Cleveland C86237 spiral point tap and what else do I need?

How do I choose between the available versions of this tap?

This model is a single specification: M5x0.8 metric thread, 70 mm overall length, 26.01 mm thread length, cobalt with black oxide finish, 6H class of fit and three flutes.

What does the M5x0.8 6H rating mean when I use the tap in a real job?

It cuts a standard M5 metric coarse thread with a 6H tolerance class, producing a 75 percent thread depth when the hole is drilled to 4.20 mm.
