Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it cuts a 2-56 UNC thread profile with 56 threads per inch. The spiral point geometry pushes chips ahead of the tap into the hole, making it well suited for through-hole work where chip evacuation is critical. It carries an H2 thread limit and a 2B class of fit, delivering consistent tolerance control in production and maintenance environments. This tap is installed by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians working on precision assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for through-hole threading in alloy steel, carbon steel, and aluminum. With an overall length of 1.75 inches and a 7\/16-inch thread length, it fits standard tap wrenches and machine spindles used in bench work, drill press setups, and CNC tapping operations. The 2-56 UNC size is common in small fastener applications found in instrument panels, electronic enclosures, and precision mechanical assemblies. Right-hand thread direction is standard for the vast majority of fastener installations in these applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward — optimized for through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides wear resistance across alloy steel, carbon steel, and aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH2 thread limit and 2B class of fit for consistent, close-tolerance results\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — suitable for use with standard cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 flutes with plug chamfer for controlled entry and smooth thread forming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, no coolant-through requirement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for through-hole threading of 2-56 UNC threads in alloy steel, aluminum, and carbon steel workpieces.

Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping and ensure the tap enters the hole perpendicular to the work surface to avoid tap breakage at this small diameter. Clear chips frequently when hand tapping by reversing the tap a half-turn for every full turn of advancement. Broken tap removal from small-diameter holes is difficult — exercise care not to exceed the tap's torque limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-56 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 56\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\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\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\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: Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Carbon 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: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.44 inches (7\/16 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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1011\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: C57031\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694214578482,"sku":"C57031","price":36.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/877c412b8658dee877d95ba434afbebc.jpg?v=1788321769","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c57031-spiral-point-tap-2-56-unc-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
