Built from high speed steel with a bright finish, it cuts a 3\/8-24 UNF thread profile with a right-hand, plug chamfer entry. The 3-flute spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the tap, making it well suited for machine tapping in through-hole applications where chip evacuation matters. Thread limit is H4, and the class of fit is 2B, targeting standard tolerance threaded assemblies. Overall length is 2.9375 inches with a thread length of 0.75 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in production and maintenance machining environments where consistent UNF thread quality is required. It is appropriate for through-hole applications in alloy steel, carbon steel, and aluminum workpieces. The plug chamfer provides a gradual lead-in that distributes cutting forces across the first several threads, making it a reliable choice for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual tapping operations. It is commonly used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals.\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\u003e3\/8-24 UNF right-hand thread, H4 thread limit, Class 2B fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across alloy steel, carbon steel, and aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer for gradual thread engagement and reduced cutting force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright finish with no coolant-through requirement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeries 1011 design with 0.381-inch shank diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for through-hole threading applications in alloy steel, aluminum, and carbon steel.

Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the spindle is properly aligned before engaging the tap. Use a cutting fluid or tapping compound rated for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Inspect thread form with a go\/no-go gauge after initial cuts when establishing a new setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\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: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.9375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.381 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.51 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: 1011\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: C57182\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699992854834,"sku":"C57182","price":35.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0687dd771c5a943a5462f38dcda4c248_9b29bc46-a78b-4cad-a28b-916ea063bb0c.jpg?v=1788384684","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c57182-spiral-point-tap-3-8-24-unf-3-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
