Cleveland C54156 #4-48 Tap Kit
This three-piece kit contains taper, plug, and bottoming straight-flute hand taps cut to a #4-48 UNF thread standard. The high-speed steel tools are supplied bright without coating and are ground to a Class 2B fit with an H2 thread limit. They suit maintenance technicians and hobbyists cutting new internal threads or chasing damaged ones in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Verify Hole Size And Thread Standard
Before ordering confirm the workpiece material and the required thread specification match #4-48 UNF. The taps require a 75 percent thread drill size of 2.32 mm to produce the correct minor diameter for a Class 2B fit. Ensure your drills are sharp and accurately sized. Right-hand thread direction is standard but verify the application does not call for left-hand threads.
High Speed Steel Bright Finish
The uncoated high-speed steel construction resists wear in general-purpose tapping while the bright finish helps chips evacuate cleanly. Three straight flutes provide adequate chip space for through and blind holes when used with proper lubrication. The 9/16 inch thread length and 1 7/8 inch overall length give sufficient reach for typical shallow holes. Each tap in the set serves a distinct stage from starting to finishing the thread.
