It is manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a titanium carbonitride (TiCN) coating that increases surface hardness and reduces friction during cutting. The tap features a plug chamfer, a 2-flute design, and a right-hand thread direction. It cuts a 5-40 UNF thread form to a Class 2B fit tolerance, making it suitable for precision fastener applications. The H2 thread limit provides consistent sizing within tight tolerance ranges. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians use this tap for production and maintenance work where accurate internal threads are required in through-hole configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for threading operations in cast iron, stainless steel, and steel workpieces. The plug chamfer style distributes cutting load across several lead threads, making it a practical choice for through-hole applications in both manual and machine tapping setups. The TiCN coating extends tool life in harder materials and reduces the need for frequent tool changes in production environments. It fits standard tap holders and chucks sized for the 0.141 inch shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-40 UNF thread form, Class 2B fit, H2 thread limit for consistent tolerance control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction provides toughness across a range of metal applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN coating increases wear resistance and reduces cutting friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer distributes cutting load for smooth through-hole thread entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand, 2-flute spiral point design pushes chips forward and out of the hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for use in cast iron, stainless steel, and steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for through-hole threading applications in cast iron, stainless steel, and steel.

Secure the workpiece firmly before threading and ensure the tap is properly aligned with the drilled hole to prevent tap breakage. Use an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for the material being threaded. Always back the tap out periodically to clear chips when tapping by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\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: H2\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\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Stainless Steel, Steel\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: TiCN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.94 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.33 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.141 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 pounds\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: 1011TICN\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: C55376\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692558188850,"sku":"C55376","price":35.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1203c7854de6d4d70acfe82a7e73aef6_02d8cb15-fdad-4bf6-86fc-560f70d9e92c.jpg?v=1788299267","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c55376-spiral-point-tap-5-40-unf-ticn-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
