Made from high speed steel with a TiN (titanium nitride) coating, this tap delivers extended tool life and reduced friction during threading operations. The 4-flute straight flute design provides stable cutting performance on a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With an overall length of 3-13\/16 inches and a thread length of 1-13\/16 inches, it fits standard tap handles used in manual threading work. The H3 thread limit and 3B class of fit make it suitable for standard tolerance threading in production and maintenance applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for use in machining, maintenance, and repair environments where right-hand UNF threads are required. The bottoming chamfer allows threading close to the bottom of blind holes, making it the correct choice when thread engagement must extend near the full depth of a drilled cavity. It is well suited for use on alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel workpieces. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians working in shop or field settings will find this tap appropriate for both production runs and one-off threading tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer for threading to the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN coating extends tool life and reduces built-up edge on common metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute straight flute geometry for stable, consistent thread form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit with 3B class of fit for standard tolerance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, UNF thread standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo coolant-through requirement — compatible with manual and light machine tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for right-hand UNF thread tapping in alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel.

Secure the workpiece before beginning threading, and apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped to reduce friction and extend tap life. For blind holes, confirm hole depth is sufficient to accommodate the tap's thread length before bottoming out. Use care when reversing to clear chips, and inspect the tap for wear or chipping between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8-18\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: Bottoming\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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-13\/16 inches (3.813 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-13\/16 inches (1.090 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.480 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.360 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16 inches (0.5625 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: C55242\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690775445810,"sku":"C55242","price":96.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/31768822b93988177268cff22828dee8.jpg?v=1788275383","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c55242-hand-tap-5-8-18-bottoming-tin-hss-unf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
