Manufactured from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this plug-chamfer tap drives thread formation in a right-hand direction and holds a Class 2B fit with an H1 thread limit. The 3-flute straight-flute geometry provides reliable chip control and is well suited to manual tapping operations where consistent thread quality is required. Overall length is 2 inches with a thread length of 0.38 inches and a shank diameter of 0.141 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where 6-40 UNF threaded holes are required. The plug chamfer style — with a moderate lead-in — makes it appropriate for starting threads in through-holes or in blind holes with adequate clearance below the thread zone. It performs across a range of workpiece materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel, making it a versatile choice for general-purpose threading tasks handled by machinists and maintenance technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-40 UNF thread form with right-hand direction and Class 2B fit tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides balanced lead-in for blind hole and through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH1 thread limit for consistent dimensional accuracy across production runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction resists wear across common workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-flute straight-flute design aids chip evacuation in short-chipping materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for cutting 6-40 UNF internal threads in alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel workpieces in blind hole and through-hole configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench or tapping fixture. Always ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole diameter matches the recommended tap drill size for 6-40 UNF threads before starting. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Do not force the tap if resistance increases sharply — back off to break chips and clear the flutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\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: H1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\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: 2 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\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\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: C54233\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51693376667954,"sku":"C54233","price":20.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/dff60e778b0b43df0d84342400ca286b.jpg?v=1788311431","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c54233-hand-tap-6-40-unf-plug-hss-3-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
