Made from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap features a 3-flute straight flute geometry and a right-hand thread direction. It carries a Class 3B fit with an H3 thread limit, making it suited for close-tolerance threading work. Overall length is 2.938 inches, with a thread length of 0.75 inches. The straight flute design handles a range of workpiece materials and is compatible with standard tap wrench drives. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is built for UNC (Unified National Coarse) threading applications at 3\/8-16. The bottoming chamfer style allows threading closer to the bottom of a blind hole compared to taper or plug chamfer taps. It is appropriate for production and maintenance machining environments where tight thread tolerances are required. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and free-machining stainless steel, making it a versatile choice for general metalworking and repair work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer for threading close to the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute straight flute geometry suited for blind hole and through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 3B fit with H3 thread limit for close-tolerance internal threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish for easy visual inspection during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, UNC standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for blind hole and through-hole threading in alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and free-machining stainless steel workpieces.

The workpiece should be securely fixtured and the tap aligned perpendicular to the hole before starting. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread finish. For blind holes, use a bottoming tap only after a taper or plug tap has established the thread, unless starting directly from a drilled hole at sufficient depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\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: Bottoming\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: 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\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: 2.938 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches (31.75 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.381 inches (9.68 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4375 inches (11.11 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.286 inches (7.26 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1003\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 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: C54586\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698343739698,"sku":"C54586","price":29.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c82c0f1a14570e89bfcee1bfb361ce31.jpg?v=1788361428","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c54586-hand-tap-3-8-16-bottoming-hss-unc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
