Cleveland 59252 #10-24 Thread Forming Tap
This Cleveland 59252 tap forms internal threads in a #10-24 UNC size using a bottoming chamfer. It is made from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish and has zero flutes for displacement threading. The tool suits maintenance and assembly tasks where a formed thread is preferred over a cut thread.
Suitable for blind holes needing full thread depth
The bottoming design with a short .5 in thread length reaches near the bottom of blind holes. The H6 limit and 2B-3B class of fit serve general-purpose fastening. Builders who need a cutting tap with flutes for chip evacuation or a different thread size should select another tool.
75 percent thread drill size 4.27 mm
Forming taps require a larger pilot hole than cutting taps. The specified 75 percent thread drill size is 4.27 mm. Using the correct drill diameter is the single specification that determines whether the tap produces the intended thread profile.
