Cleveland C54741 1/2"-20 Straight Flute Hand Tap Set pneumatic accessory

SKU CH-EEVK-SSXTJ

A three-piece high-speed steel tap set for cutting 1/2"-20 UNF threads in right-hand direction

  • TypeTaps
  • 1/2"-20 UNF threads for precise fasteners
  • High-speed steel resists wear during tapping
  • Three-piece set covers bottoming, plug, taper
  • 4-flute design clears chips efficiently
  • Bright finish suits general-purpose threading

Three-Piece Tap Kit

This Cleveland C54741 set contains three straight-flute hand taps in a 1/2"-20 UNF thread size. The kit includes taper, plug and bottoming styles so you can start, deepen and finish threads in a single pass. High-speed steel construction gives the cutting edges durability across repeated use in a workshop environment. The bright, uncoated finish is suitable for general-purpose threading tasks.

Build Integration

Each tap measures 3 3/8 inches overall with a 15/16 inch thread length, fitting standard tap wrenches and holders. The four-flute design clears chips efficiently when cutting right-hand threads in through or blind holes. A 75 percent thread drill size of 11.40 mm prepares the workpiece for accurate engagement. The taps require only a compatible wrench and cutting fluid to operate.

Capacity and Headroom

Class 2B thread limits produce a 3B class of fit, meeting standard Unified Fine tolerances for fastening applications. The high-speed steel handles carbon steels, alloy steels and non-ferrous metals within typical hand-tapping torque ranges. Very hard or abrasive alloys will wear the uncoated flutes faster than coated alternatives. Extremely deep blind holes may exceed the 15/16 inch thread length and require a different tool.

Questions about this item

How deep can the 1/2"-20 tap cut in one pass?

The thread length is 15/16 in, so each tap cuts threads up to that depth before you back it out.

Will the tap set get hot or loud during extended hand threading?

Hand taps run at manual speed, so they produce negligible heat and only light cutting noise even during all-day use.

What drill bit do I need before starting the 1/2"-20 threads?

A 11.40 mm drill gives the recommended 75 percent thread engagement for this UNF size.
