Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this plug-chamfer tap is suited for manual tapping applications where controlled thread starts and consistent Class 2B fit are required. It features 4 flutes and a right-hand thread direction, with an overall length of 3.156 inches and a thread length of 0.88 inches. The H3 thread limit provides a slightly oversized tap geometry to account for material springback, making it a reliable choice for machinists and maintenance tradespeople working with common ferrous and non-ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments. The plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 threads of lead — makes it appropriate for both starting new threads and continuing threads in partially tapped holes. It is well suited for threading alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel in production or repair work. The straight-flute design handles both blind and through-hole applications without requiring chip evacuation specific to spiral-flute geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\/16-14 UNC thread size with right-hand direction and H3 thread limit for Class 2B fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides 3-5 thread lead-in, suitable for blind and through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute straight-flute geometry compatible with both blind and through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — no coating interference on close-tolerance threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShank diameter of 0.323 inches fits standard tap wrench collets and T-handle holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling selection for manual tapping of 7\/16-14 UNC threaded holes in alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is installed using a standard tap wrench or T-handle; secure the square drive shank firmly before applying torque. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material before and during tapping to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Back the tap out periodically to break and clear chips, particularly in blind-hole applications. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before beginning the threading operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16-14\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\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.156 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.88 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.323 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.406 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.242 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: 1002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 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: C54653\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722459578674,"sku":"C54653","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0377fd503e5d283fee80088effd35904.jpg?v=1788591446","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c54653-hand-tap-7-16-14-unc-plug-4-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
