Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this plug-chamfer tap produces clean, accurate threads in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The H3 thread limit and Class 2B fit keep the tap suited for standard tolerance threading applications. Overall length is 2.0 inches with a 0.38-inch thread length. The 3-flute design provides good chip clearance and is well-suited to hand or machine tapping operations where a balanced cutting action is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for use in metalworking and machining applications across manufacturing, maintenance, and repair environments. The 6-32 thread size is a common fastener specification in light-gauge assemblies, electrical enclosures, and precision components. The plug chamfer — with a moderate lead-in angle — makes it a versatile choice for starting threads in either through-holes or blind holes with adequate depth. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians working with alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel will find this tap covers a wide range of day-to-day threading needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-32 UNC thread form with Class 2B fit and H3 thread limit for standard tolerance threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides a moderate lead-in, suitable for blind holes and through holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute straight-flute geometry supports consistent chip evacuation during hand or machine tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect thread fit in close-tolerance work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, matching standard 6-32 fastener convention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-fitment replacement or first-fit hand tap for 6-32 UNC threading applications in alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and free-machining stainless steel workpieces.

Before tapping, ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap drill diameter for a 6-32 UNC thread. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Advance the tap in a consistent rotating motion, backing off periodically to break chips and prevent tap binding or breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\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 Flute\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.0 inches (50.80 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.38 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.141 inches (3.58 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches (4.76 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.110 inches (2.79 mm)\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\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Carbon Steel, Free-Machining Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: C54224\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51693031260466,"sku":"C54224","price":20.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4c1602075ab8c9a392feed38bb5127ef.jpg?v=1788306448","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c54224-hand-tap-6-32-unc-plug-3-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
