Built from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this tap cuts a 12-24 UNC thread profile with a plug chamfer and an H3 thread limit. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting teeth, making it well-suited for threading through-holes where chip evacuation is a priority. The overall length is 2.375 inches with a thread length of 0.5 inches. It carries a 2B\/3B class of fit, covering the most common tolerance ranges for general-purpose fastener assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for use in production and maintenance shops where 12-24 UNC threaded holes are required in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Rated material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, and aluminum. The right-hand thread direction and plug chamfer make it a standard choice for CNC tapping cycles, drill press setups, and hand tapping on through-hole workpieces. Its compact shank diameter of 0.22 inches fits standard tap holders and chucks used in light to medium machining work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward, optimizing through-hole tapping performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides wear resistance across alloy steel, carbon steel, and aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides a gradual thread entry suitable for most general-purpose through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit and 2B\/3B class of fit meet standard tolerance requirements for fastener assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish allows direct visual inspection of cutting edge condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction compatible with standard tapping attachments and CNC rigid tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for through-hole threading in alloy steel, carbon steel, and aluminum workpieces requiring a 12-24 UNC thread profile with a 2B or 3B class of fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA licensed machinist or qualified fabricator should secure the tap in an appropriate tap holder, tapping chuck, or CNC spindle before use. Ensure the workpiece is firmly fixtured and that the pilot hole diameter is correct for a 12-24 UNC tap prior to starting the thread. Apply a suitable cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and reduce the risk of breakage. Never reverse the tap under power without confirming the tapping attachment supports reversing operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12-24 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\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\/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\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: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.375 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\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Carbon Steel\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: 1011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.019 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: C57112\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690548887858,"sku":"C57112","price":25.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4c75931a483d0033e77b5957b23758dc.jpg?v=1788271459","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c57112-spiral-point-tap-12-24-unc-2-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
