Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it features a taper chamfer that progressively distributes cutting load across the leading threads for easier thread starting. The tap runs right-hand, class 3B fit, thread limit H2, with 3 flutes and an overall length of 2 inches. It is suited for use in both blind-hole and through-hole threading applications and is typically installed using a standard tap wrench or tapping fixture by machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, and maintenance mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is appropriate for general-purpose threading in production and maintenance environments. Its H2 thread limit and 3B class of fit make it a solid choice for standard tolerance internal threads where moderate to close fit is required. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and free-machining stainless steel. The straight-flute design is well-suited for through-hole threading and shorter blind holes where chip evacuation is managed manually or with cutting fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-32 UNC thread form, right-hand direction, class 3B fit with H2 thread limit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaper chamfer distributes cutting load gradually for controlled thread starting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-flute straight-flute geometry suitable for both blind and through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction provides good wear resistance across common metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — no coating to alter tap geometry or tolerance stack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 2-inch overall length fits standard tap wrenches and tapping heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for blind-hole and through-hole threading in alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and free-machining stainless steel workpieces requiring a 6-32 UNC internal thread to class 3B tolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA licensed machinist or qualified maintenance mechanic should install this tap using a properly sized tap wrench or tapping fixture aligned perpendicular to the workpiece surface. Always apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tap life. Reverse the tap periodically to break chips, particularly in blind holes. Inspect the tap for chipping or wear before each use — a damaged tap can seize in the hole and damage the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\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: 3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.38 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 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 Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.110 inches\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: 1001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: C54217\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694577942834,"sku":"C54217","price":24.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/70889ef79ef81de96ca78a4f458a9b1a.jpg?v=1788325710","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c54217-hand-tap-6-32-unc-taper-3-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
