Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it cuts a 5\/16-18 UNC thread to a 3B class of fit with an H3 thread limit. The two-flute, spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cut, making it well suited for through-hole applications where chip evacuation matters. Overall length is 2.719 inches with a thread length of 0.690 inches. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance professionals use this tap for production and repair work on steel, aluminum, and alloy components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C57151 is used in through-hole tapping operations across general manufacturing, MRO maintenance, and fabrication environments. It is appropriate for right-hand threading in alloy steel, carbon steel, and aluminum workpieces. The plug chamfer distributes cutting load across several leading threads, making it a standard choice for both hand tapping and machine tapping setups where a starting chamfer is acceptable. It is sold individually and is part of Cleveland Series 1011.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward for efficient through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 UNC thread form with H3 thread limit and 3B class of fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability across steel and aluminum materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer for balanced cutting load and versatile machine or hand use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect thread tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, Series 1011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for through-hole tapping of alloy steel, carbon steel, and aluminum.

Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the tap is properly aligned before beginning the cut. Use an appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. For machine tapping, verify spindle speed and feed rate are set for the material and tap size before engaging the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-18 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\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\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: 2.719 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.690 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.450 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.318 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: 0.0645 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: C57151\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51697466048818,"sku":"C57151","price":24.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fbee8556594e4c380b62a63c4b970e8e.jpg?v=1788351915","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c57151-spiral-point-tap-5-16-18-unc-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
