Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it runs four flutes with a taper chamfer that guides the tap smoothly into the workpiece and distributes cutting forces across multiple teeth. Overall length is 3.375 inches with a thread length of 0.94 inches. The H3 thread limit holds a Class 3B fit, making it a dependable choice for precision threading applications in production and maintenance machining environments. Machinists and tool-and-die tradespeople are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C54726 handles both blind-hole and through-hole threading operations. The taper chamfer, typically 8 to 10 threads of relief, makes it well suited as a starting tap for initiating threads from scratch rather than chasing or finishing existing threads. Recommended material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel. The shank diameter is 0.367 inches, and the square drive measures 0.275 inches across, compatible with standard tap wrenches and tapping attachments sized for the 1\/2-13 range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-13 UNC thread form, Class 3B fit with H3 thread limit for controlled tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper chamfer geometry for thread initiation in blind or through holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour-flute straight-flute design suited for short-chipping materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across steel and aluminum applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect thread tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, no coolant-through requirement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel workpieces requiring 1\/2-13 UNC right-hand internal threads in blind-hole or through-hole configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is installed by machinists using a standard tap wrench or tapping attachment; ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before beginning. Always drill the correct tap drill size for 1\/2-13 UNC before tapping and clear chips frequently, especially in blind-hole operations, to prevent tap breakage. Apply a suitable cutting fluid for the material being tapped. Do not force the tap if resistance increases suddenly — back off to break and clear chips before continuing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-13\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\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\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taper\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: 3.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.94 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.367 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.275 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4375 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\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading, Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Carbon Steel, Free-Machining Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1001\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.19 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: C54726\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695467233586,"sku":"C54726","price":43.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8a38bf696f19471ab623969b292a0937.jpg?v=1788335387","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c54726-hand-tap-1-2-13-unc-taper-4-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
