Cleveland M12 Spiral Point Tap
The Cleveland C96045 is a metric spiral point tap designed for creating M12 threads with a 1.75 mm pitch. It features a cobalt construction with a Hard Lube coating for wear resistance. The tool has an overall length of 110 mm and a thread length of 40 mm. Three flutes provide chip evacuation during operation.
Suited for metric M12 through-hole threading
This tap suits machinists and maintenance technicians cutting internal threads in through-holes where chips can be pushed ahead of the tool. The 6H class of fit meets standard metric tolerance requirements. Users needing a bottoming tap for blind holes or a different thread pitch should select an alternative tool.
Cobalt substrate with Hard Lube coating
The cobalt material offers higher heat resistance than standard high-speed steel, extending tool life in tougher alloys. Hard Lube coating reduces friction and improves chip flow without the need for external coolant in some applications. The 75 percent thread drill size of 10.30 mm ensures proper hole preparation for 6H fit.

Questions about this item
What drill bit size must I already own to prepare the hole for this M12x1.75 tap?
Use a 10.30 mm drill bit to produce the 75 percent thread depth required before tapping with the C96045.
Will this spiral-point tap work with the standard M12x1.75 nuts and bolts already in my toolbox?
Yes, it cuts a 6H class-of-fit metric thread that matches standard M12x1.75 hardware.
How can I confirm the tap is cutting correctly once I start threading?
Chips should eject forward through the flutes and the finished thread should measure 40 mm in length.
