Cleveland Spiral Point Tap M16x2 110 mm
This Cleveland spiral point tap creates metric coarse threads in through-hole applications. The plug style advances chips ahead of the cutting edges for smoother operation. It measures 110.00 mm overall with a 53.01 mm thread length. Three flutes provide balanced cutting action in a right-hand thread pattern.
Suited for through-hole threading in steel
Machinists tapping M16x2 clearance holes with a 14.00 mm drill will find the 6H class of fit appropriate for general fits. The HSS-E substrate with Hard Lube coating handles moderate production volumes. Blind-hole work or form tapping requirements call for a different tool geometry.
6H thread limit determines fit class
The 6H tolerance governs the pitch diameter allowance for the finished internal thread. Select this tap when the drawing specifies a 6H class of fit for the M16x2 coarse thread. A 6G or 4H limit would change the clearance and is not interchangeable with this part.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Cleveland C96049 M16x2 spiral point tap and what is the common mistake with the drill size?
Drill the hole to 14.00 mm for 75 percent thread engagement, then run the tap right-hand with cutting fluid; the frequent error is using a larger drill which reduces thread strength.
What maintenance or replacement will the Cleveland C96049 HSS-E tap need after extended use?
The HSS-E cutting edges with Hard Lube coating will dull over time; resharpen the three flutes or replace the tap when thread quality drops below the 6H class of fit.
What limit appears first when using the Cleveland C96049 tap continuously in deep holes?
Chip evacuation through the 53.01 mm thread length becomes the limiting factor; the spiral point pushes chips ahead but deep M16x2 holes can pack and increase torque.
