Cleveland C55058 Straight Flute Tap
The Cleveland C55058 is a straight flute hand tap designed for creating internal threads in a variety of materials. It suits maintenance technicians and machinists who need to cut precise UNC threads by hand or with a tapping head. The bright, uncoated high-speed steel construction provides a standard option for general-purpose threading tasks.
Uncoated High-Speed Steel Design
The bright finish means the tap has no surface coating to alter friction or chip evacuation characteristics. High-speed steel offers a balance of toughness and wear resistance for standard steel and non-ferrous workpieces. Users must supply their own cutting fluid or lubricant to manage heat and improve thread quality during the operation.
1-1/2 Inch UNC Thread Capacity
This tap cuts a 1-1/2"-6 UNC thread with a 3-inch thread length and an overall length of 6.38 inches. The H4 thread limit targets a Class 2B fit, requiring a 75 percent thread drill size of 1.3376 inches for proper preparation. It is not suited for bottoming blind holes or for materials that demand coated or spiral-flute geometries for chip control.

Questions about this item
When will the straight-flute hand tap need replacement?
Replace the tap once the cutting edges dull or chip, which shows as increased torque, rough threads or oversized holes in the 1-1/2"-6 UNC size.
What limit appears first during sustained threading?
The H4 thread limit and 2B class of fit define the tolerance envelope; exceeding either on the 1.3376 in drill size causes gauge failure.
How much heat builds up when running the tap all day?
High-speed steel dissipates heat, but continuous cutting in 1-1/2"-6 UNC material raises temperature; use cutting fluid to control thermal expansion.
