Thread Size and Standard
The Cleveland C55378 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting internal threads in through-holes. It handles a #6-32 UNC thread size with a 2B class of fit, making it suitable for general-purpose fastening tasks in metalworking and maintenance applications.
Tap Geometry and Drill Requirement
The plug chamfer and two-flute spiral point push chips ahead of the cut, which suits through-hole work but not blind holes. A #36 drill size is specified for 75 percent thread engagement, and the H3 thread limit controls the pitch diameter tolerance for the intended fit.
Coating and Material
High-speed steel construction provides the necessary hardness for threading ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The TiCN coating adds wear resistance and reduces friction compared to uncoated tools, extending service life in repetitive production or repair use.

Questions about this item
Which thread size should I choose for a #6-32 UNC hole?
This tap cuts #6-32 UNC threads with a 2B class of fit and H3 limit; select it when the drawing calls for that exact size and tolerance.
What does the 75 percent thread drill size #36 mean when I use the tap?
Drill the hole with a #36 drill to produce roughly 75 percent thread engagement before tapping with this tool.
How does the TiCN coating affect tapping performance in steel?
The TiCN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction, extending tool life and improving chip evacuation in steel and other ferrous materials.
