Cleveland C54324 Tap Set 10-24 Unc 4 Flute Hss 3 Piece

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C54324 is a 3-piece tap set designed for cutting 10-24 UNC internal threads in metal workpieces. The set includes bottoming, plug, and taper chamfer taps, allowing a machinist or maintenance technician to start, progress, and finish a thread in a single coordinated workflow. All three taps are manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright finish and feature 4 flutes for chip clearance during cutting. Overall length is 2.375 inches with a thread length of 0.5 inches. The right-hand thread direction follows standard UNC convention, and the H2 thread limit designates a close tolerance fit suitable for most general-purpose fastener applications.

This tap set is suited for production and maintenance environments where 10-24 UNC threads are commonly required, including light fabrication, electrical enclosure assembly, and mechanical component repair. The three-chamfer configuration makes the set practical for through-holes as well as blind holes where a bottoming tap is needed to cut threads close to the bottom of the bore. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics working in industrial, HVAC, and electrical trades will find this set appropriate for both benchtop and drill-press tap operations.

Key Features

• 4-flute design promotes effective chip evacuation during tapping
• H2 thread limit for close-tolerance 10-24 UNC thread production
• Bright finish with no coating, suitable for use with standard cutting fluids
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard UNC fastener convention

Compatibility

Designed for cutting 10-24 UNC right-hand internal threads in materials appropriate for high speed steel tooling. Fits standard tap holders and T-handle wrenches sized for No. 10 taps.

Installation Notes

Tapping operations should be performed by a qualified machinist or trained maintenance technician familiar with thread-cutting procedures. Always use an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Secure the workpiece firmly before starting and align the tap perpendicular to the drilled hole to avoid tap breakage. A properly sized tap drill hole is required prior to use; consult a standard UNC tap drill chart for the correct drill size for 10-24 threads.
