Built from high speed steel with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, it produces clean, accurate internal threads in cast iron and steel. The plug chamfer style provides a gradual cutting action suited for starting threads in through holes. With 2 flutes and a right-hand thread direction, it follows the UNC thread standard at a 12-28 thread size. The H3 thread limit and Class 2B fit designation make it compatible with standard tolerance threading requirements across general machining and maintenance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in machine shop, manufacturing, and maintenance-repair-operations (MRO) environments where through-hole threading of cast iron or steel workpieces is required. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward through the hole, keeping the flutes clear during cutting. It is well suited for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and tapping arms where consistent thread quality across production runs is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability in cast iron and steel applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life compared to uncoated HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer for gradual thread engagement in through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward, reducing clogging in blind-adjacent through holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit with Class 2B fit for standard tolerance internal threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand, 2-flute design with no coolant-through requirement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for through-hole threading of cast iron and steel workpieces requiring a 12-28 UNC internal thread with a Class 2B fit and H3 thread limit tolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is installed and operated by machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians using standard tapping equipment. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap drill size for a 12-28 UNC thread before tapping. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to improve finish quality and tool life. Follow the equipment manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when operating tapping machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12-28\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 28\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\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: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\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: TiN (Titanium Nitride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.38 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.22 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.45 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1011TN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4 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: C55313\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51704855560498,"sku":"C55313","price":34.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b2c7f73657f8b50caf97ff64334b5436_8ac4d1db-d84a-4b4b-84dc-f7c48f958da5.jpg?v=1788425400","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c55313-spiral-point-tap-12-28-unc-hss-tin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
