Built from high speed steel with a bright finish, it cuts a 5\/8-11 UNC thread profile with a right-hand direction and a 2B class of fit. The 3-flute spiral point geometry pushes chips ahead of the tap as it advances, keeping the flute area clear and reducing the risk of chip packing in production or maintenance threading operations. This tap carries an H5 thread limit for controlled tolerance output. It is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals working on through-hole applications across a range of base materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C57232 is rated for use in alloy steel, carbon steel, and aluminum — common material groups encountered in general manufacturing, fabrication shops, and industrial maintenance environments. The plug chamfer (3-5 threads) makes it suited for through-hole work where the tap can pass completely through the workpiece. It is not intended for blind-hole applications where a bottoming tap would be required. The 3-13\/16 inch overall length provides enough reach for standard machine tapping setups and hand tapping with a tap wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8-11 UNC thread form with right-hand cut and 2B class of fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry drives chips forward, ideal for through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across alloy steel, carbon steel, and aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH5 thread limit for consistent tolerance control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer for standard through-hole entry and thread starting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright finish — no coating applied, suitable for use with cutting fluid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for through-hole threading in alloy steel, carbon steel, and aluminum workpieces.

Apply cutting fluid rated for the base material before and during the tapping operation to reduce heat buildup and extend tap life. Secure the workpiece fully before beginning to prevent movement during thread cutting. Inspect the tap for chipping or wear before each use — a damaged tap should not be returned to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8-11\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\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: H5\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.813 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.090 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.730 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.480 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\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: 0.335 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: C57232\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51723963892018,"sku":"C57232","price":80.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d625230c06fb0b617a698990fb56da71.jpg?v=1788610746","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c57232-spiral-point-tap-5-8-11-unc-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
