Straight Flute Hand Tap 7/8"-9
The Cleveland C54885 is a straight flute hand tap designed for cutting internal threads in a variety of materials. It suits maintenance technicians and machinists who need to create or repair 7/8"-9 UNC threads using manual or powered tapping operations.
UNC Thread Standard and Plug Chamfer
This tap follows the Unified National Coarse standard with a 7/8 inch diameter and 9 threads per inch. The plug chamfer provides a moderate lead of three to five threads, making it suitable for through holes and blind holes with sufficient clearance. A 75 percent thread engagement requires a 19.50 mm drill size for proper hole preparation.
High-Speed Steel Construction and Bright Finish
The tap is manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated surface and right-hand cutting direction. Its overall length measures 4.69 inches with a 2.22 inch thread length and H4 thread limit for a 2B class of fit. The straight flute design requires periodic chip clearing during use and is not suited for deep blind holes where chip evacuation is difficult.
