It cuts a 1\/2-13 UNC thread profile using a 3-flute, plug chamfer geometry that pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting edge, keeping the flutes clear and reducing the chance of chip packing. The tap is manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) and coated with titanium nitride (TiN) to extend tool life and reduce friction during cutting. With a 3B class of fit and H3 thread limit, it produces threads suited for standard fastener engagement in structural and mechanical assemblies. Licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals performing field or shop threading work are the primary users of this tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is built for through-hole threading in alloy steel, carbon steel, and aluminum workpieces. The plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 lead threads — makes it well suited for applications where the tap can pass through the full depth of the hole. It is used in manufacturing, industrial maintenance, HVAC equipment fabrication, and mechanical service work wherever a clean 1\/2-13 UNC thread is required in a through-bore. The spiral point geometry is particularly effective in CNC tapping centers and hand-tapping operations where chip evacuation forward through the hole is practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-13 UNC thread form with H3 thread limit and 3B class of fit for standard fastener compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward, reducing chip packing in through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction provides toughness across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life compared to uncoated HSS taps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer entry suitable for through-hole threading where full thread engagement is achievable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, no coolant-through requirement — compatible with standard tapping fluid application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for through-hole threading in alloy steel, carbon steel, and aluminum.

Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping and ensure the starter hole is drilled to the correct tap drill diameter for a 1\/2-13 UNC thread. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound to lubricate the tap and reduce heat buildup, particularly in steel workpieces. Reverse the tap periodically when hand tapping to break chips, and never force the tap against resistance as this can result in tap breakage.\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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\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\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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: Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Carbon Steel\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: 0.940 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.730 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\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: 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: C55332\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51697693327666,"sku":"C55332","price":52.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6e451c768d445f0e83389c3026b104d8.jpg?v=1788354149","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c55332-spiral-point-tap-1-2-13-unc-hss-tin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
