Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this Series 1001 tap features a taper chamfer and four flutes to guide thread cutting in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The overall length is 4.25 inches with a thread length of 1.22 inches. The taper chamfer distributes cutting load gradually across the leading threads, making entry easier and reducing the risk of tap breakage during hand tapping operations. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics reach for this style of tap when chasing or cutting new threads with a tap wrench or hand-tapping fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for general-purpose threading in alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and free-machining stainless steel. The 3B class of fit and H3 thread limit produce threads consistent with standard UNF tolerance requirements, making it appropriate for both production and repair applications. It performs in job shops, maintenance facilities, and field service environments where hand tapping is the preferred or only available method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4-16 UNF thread form with right-hand cutting direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper chamfer distributes cutting load for easier thread entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across common workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting oil or tapping fluid\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3B class of fit and H3 thread limit for standard UNF tolerance compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour straight flutes for chip clearance in through-hole and blind-hole applications\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 requiring a 3\/4-16 UNF internal thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachinists and maintenance technicians should secure the workpiece before tapping and apply an appropriate cutting oil or tapping fluid to reduce friction and extend tap life. For taper taps in blind holes, confirm sufficient hole depth before starting to avoid bottoming out and breaking the tap. Reverse the tap periodically during hand tapping to break chips and clear flutes. Always align the tap wrench squarely with the hole axis to prevent thread distortion or tap breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\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: Taper\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: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.25 inches (107.95 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.22 inches (50.80 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.59 inches (14.99 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6875 inches (17.46 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.442 inches (11.23 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\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading, Through-Hole Threading\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1001\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0061 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: C54846\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716166189362,"sku":"C54846","price":106.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/df0cbabe376722d06556da3d6cc73431.jpg?v=1788522677","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c54846-hand-tap-3-4-16-unf-taper-4-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
