It features a 4-flute straight flute geometry designed to cut clean internal threads in both blind holes and through-holes. The bottoming chamfer allows threading to run close to the bottom of a blind hole, making it the right choice when thread depth is critical. At 3.375 inches overall length with a 0.94-inch thread length, this tap suits standard hand-tapping operations and fits common tap wrench square drives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for threading operations in alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel. The TiN coating extends tool life by reducing friction and improving wear resistance across these materials. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians use this tap for production and maintenance threading in both shop and field environments where a bottoming style is required to maximize thread engagement in shallow or blind-hole applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer for threading close to the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN coating improves wear resistance and reduces cutting friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute straight flute design for clean thread formation in a range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction handles alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and free-machining stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, Class 3B fit, H3 thread limit for precise tolerance control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits standard tap wrenches via 7\/16-inch square drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for 1\/2-13 UNC internal thread applications in blind holes and through-holes across alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and free-machining stainless steel workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician using a standard tap wrench sized for a 7\/16-inch square drive. Always use cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tap life. Back the tap off periodically to break chips and prevent tap binding or breakage. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use, as a damaged tap can seize or produce out-of-tolerance threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\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 (3-3\/8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.94 inches (1-21\/32 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 (7\/16 inch)\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\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN (Titanium Nitride)\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: 1003TN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\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: C55232\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51712062062898,"sku":"C55232","price":54.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/38d0f34ccd634c51b9657d0ef3f239b7.jpg?v=1788483194","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c55232-hand-tap-1-2-13-unc-bottoming-tin-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
