Cleveland C55144 Straight Flute Hand Tap
This Cleveland C55144 is a straight flute hand tap designed for creating 3/4"-10 UNC threads in a range of materials. It suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need to cut internal threads by hand or with a tapping head. The plug chamfer makes it a versatile choice for both through holes and blind holes with adequate clearance.
High Speed Steel construction with TiN coating
The tap is manufactured from High Speed Steel and features a TiN coating that enhances wear resistance and tool life. Its straight flute design is standard for general purpose threading and allows chips to collect in the flutes during hand operation. The 4.25 in overall length and 2 in thread length provide sufficient reach for typical applications while the H3 thread limit targets a 2B class of fit.
Practical limits of UNC hand tapping
This tool cuts a 3/4"-10 UNC thread to a 2B class of fit using an H3 limit, requiring a 16.50 mm drill size for approximately 75 percent thread engagement. As a straight flute hand tap, it relies on the operator to break and clear chips, which limits its efficiency in deep blind holes or high volume production. The right hand cut direction follows standard convention for the specified thread form.
