Cleveland C54092 Tap Set 2-56 Unc 3 Flute Hss Bright

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C54092 is a three-piece tap set designed for cutting 2-56 UNC internal threads in metal workpieces. The set includes bottoming, plug, and taper chamfer taps, giving machinists and tool-and-die professionals a complete progression for threading a hole from start to finish. All three taps are manufactured from high speed steel for durability under repeated use, and a bright finish is applied without additional coating. With an overall length of 1.75 inches and a three-flute geometry, these taps are sized for precision work in small-diameter threaded holes common in instrument, electronics, and light mechanical assemblies.

This tap set is suited for threading 2-56 UNC holes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials in both production and maintenance environments. The three-chamfer progression — taper for starting, plug for general-purpose through-holes, and bottoming for threading to the bottom of blind holes — makes this set appropriate for machine shops, tool rooms, and maintenance technicians working on small fastener applications requiring tight thread tolerances.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for cutting 2-56 UNC right-hand internal threads. Fits standard tap wrenches and machine tap holders sized for the shank of a 2-56 series tap.

Installation Notes

These taps are installed by machinists and toolmakers using hand tap wrenches or machine tapping equipment. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping, use an appropriate cutting fluid for the material being threaded, and advance the tap with consistent pressure while backing off periodically to break chips. Inspect the tap for wear or damage before each use to avoid thread damage or tap breakage.
