Built from high speed steel with a titanium carbonitride (TiCN) finish, it cuts a 12-24 UNF thread to a 2B class of fit with an H3 thread limit. The three-flute spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting zone, keeping the flutes clear during through-hole applications. At 2.38 inches overall length with a 0.5-inch thread length, this tap is sized for compact fastener applications. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical trades use this tap when re-tapping or threading new holes in cast iron, stainless steel, and carbon steel components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C55384 is well suited to production and service environments where through-hole tapping is required in cast iron, stainless steel, and steel workpieces. Its plug chamfer provides a moderate lead-in for starting the cut in a pre-drilled hole. The TiCN coating extends tool life in abrasive and hard materials compared to uncoated HSS taps. This tap belongs to the Cleveland Series 1011TICN line and is sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward for clean through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN coating improves wear resistance in cast iron, stainless steel, and steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction handles a wide range of ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides controlled lead-in for consistent thread starts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit and 2B class of fit meet standard fastener tolerance requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, no coolant-through requirement, suitable for general machine tapping\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.

Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap drill size for a 12-24 UNF thread before beginning. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tap life. Do not force the tap if resistance increases sharply, as breakage in blind or undersized holes is a common failure point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12-24\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: 24\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: 2B\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\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Through-Hole Threading\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\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Stainless Steel, 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: 1011TICN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4 pounds\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: C55384\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51689679225138,"sku":"C55384","price":36.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1203c7854de6d4d70acfe82a7e73aef6_999fcfe0-bfcd-4cf8-a7d5-e052b7475d51.jpg?v=1788262885","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c55384-spiral-point-tap-12-24-unf-ticn-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
