It is manufactured from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish and carries a plug chamfer for standard starting in pre-drilled holes. The right-hand, 2-flute design runs a Class 2B\/3B fit at an H2 thread limit, making it suitable for general-purpose threading work where dimensional consistency and clean thread form are required. At 1.938 inches overall length with a 0.31-inch thread length, this tap is sized for small-fastener applications in production and maintenance machining environments. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for threading operations on a range of workpiece materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel. The straight-flute geometry makes it effective in both blind-hole and through-hole scenarios where chip evacuation can be managed by the operator. It is a hand tap, meaning it is driven manually with a tap wrench or held in a tapping fixture, rather than being designed for CNC rigid tapping. Typical applications include repair threading, prototype work, and low-volume production where manual control is preferred over machine tapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-40 UNC thread form, right-hand, Class 2B\/3B fit at H2 thread limit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer for standard entry in pre-drilled holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute straight-flute geometry supports both blind-hole and through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish — no coolant-through feature, suited for hand or low-speed tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact size: 1.938 inches OAL with 0.1875-inch square drive length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in any application requiring a 5-40 UNC internal thread.

Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap-drill diameter for a 5-40 thread before beginning. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce friction and extend tap life. Advance the tap in small increments and back off periodically to break chips, particularly in blind-hole applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.938 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.141 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Drive Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B \/ 3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright \/ Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Carbon Steel, Free-Machining Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading, Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1002\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CLEVELAND\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C54186\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51702113534258,"sku":"C54186","price":26.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/30baddd864eee78c98ad7797e7b97ced.jpg?v=1788409335","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c54186-hand-tap-5-40-unc-plug-rh-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
