Thread-cutting tool for 7/16"-14 UNC
This Cleveland C27658 straight flute tap cuts internal threads in a 7/16"-14 UNC size with a semi-bottoming chamfer. It is made from cobalt with a black oxide and nitride surface treatment for wear resistance. The tool suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need to produce Class 2B threads in through holes or blind holes where chip evacuation is straightforward.
Replaces worn or undersized taps
A new tap restores accurate pitch diameter when an existing tool has dulled or when a previous tap left threads out of tolerance. The H5 thread limit and 75 percent thread drill size U provide a tighter fit than standard H3 or H4 limits, making the upgrade worthwhile when the application demands stricter Class 2B conformity.
Fits standard tap holders and CNC tooling
The 3.16 in overall length and .88 in thread length allow the tap to reach into typical workholding setups without special extensions. Right-hand cutting direction matches conventional spindle rotation. Cobalt construction handles higher cutting temperatures than high-speed steel, freeing the operator from frequent tool changes in abrasive materials.
