Cleveland C54195 Tap Set 5-44 Unf 3 Flute Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C54195 is a three-piece tap set designed for cutting 5-44 UNF internal threads in metal workpieces. The set includes bottoming, plug, and taper chamfer taps, giving technicians the full progression needed to thread a hole from start to finish or to tap blind holes to depth. All three taps are machined from high speed steel with a bright finish and feature three flutes for efficient chip evacuation. With an overall length of 1.938 inches and a thread length of 0.310 inches, this set is suited for close-quarters fastener work common in precision mechanical and electrical assemblies.

This tap set is used in applications requiring fine-pitch 5-44 UNF threads, typically found in small instrument housings, electrical panel hardware, miniature mechanical assemblies, and light-gauge metal fabrication. The three-chamfer progression makes it practical for both through-hole and blind-hole threading operations. The H2 thread limit designation indicates a standard tolerance class appropriate for general-purpose UNF threading where controlled fit is required. This set is well-suited for machine shops, maintenance technicians, and precision assembly work across industrial and trade settings.

Key Features

• Three-piece set includes bottoming, plug, and taper taps for complete threading progression
• High speed steel construction provides durability across a range of metals
• Bright finish with no coating for straightforward re-sharpening
• H2 thread limit for controlled tolerance in standard UNF applications
• Three flutes promote chip removal and reduce heat buildup during cutting
• Right-hand thread direction for standard fastener compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for cutting 5-44 UNF right-hand internal threads in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Suitable for use with standard 5-44 UNF fasteners in precision mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation assemblies.

Installation Notes

Tap installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or skilled trade technician using the appropriate tap wrench or tapping head. Always use cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before beginning to prevent tap breakage. Follow standard shop safety practices and consult applicable thread standards for correct drill size selection prior to tapping.
