- Spiral point design pushes chips forward for clear threads
- 110 mm overall length reaches deep holes
- 40 mm thread length cuts full threads in one pass
Precision M12x1.25 Tapping
The Cleveland C96044 spiral-point tap cuts metric M12 threads with a 1.25 mm pitch. Its three-flute cobalt body suits maintenance crews and machine shops that need reliable internal threads in steel or alloy components. Right-hand cutting and a 6H class of fit meet standard fit requirements for general fastening work.
Cobalt Hard Lube Performance
Cobalt construction with Hard Lube coating reduces friction and heat during normal tapping cycles. The spiral-point geometry pushes chips ahead of the flutes, keeping the cutting zone clear and lowering torque spikes. Consistent chip evacuation helps maintain steady power draw on the drive tool and limits audible chatter.
Ready-to-Use Geometry
A 40 mm thread length on an 110 mm overall shank reaches through typical plate thicknesses without extra tooling. The 75 % thread drill size of 10.78 mm is marked on the tool, so operators can select the correct tap drill without consulting charts. Builders needing larger diameters or left-hand threads will require a different tap.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Cleveland C96044 tap and what step is often missed?
Use a 10.78 mm drill for the 75 percent thread depth, then run the M12x1.25 tap to the 40 mm thread length; the step often missed is drilling the correct 10.78 mm hole before tapping.
When will the Cleveland C96044 tap need replacement?
Replace the cobalt tap when the three flutes no longer cut clean threads to the 6H class of fit or when the hard lube coating shows visible wear after repeated M12x1.25 operations.
What limit appears first during sustained tapping with the Cleveland C96044?
The 6H thread limit is reached first if the 10.78 mm drill size or 40 mm thread depth are not held, causing oversize threads before the cobalt tool itself wears out.
