Cleveland C57195 Spiral Point Tap 7/16-20 UNF
This Cleveland C57195 spiral point tap cuts 7/16-20 UNF threads in through-hole applications. The high speed steel construction provides reliable performance for general-purpose threading tasks. Machinists and maintenance technicians use this tool to create precise internal threads in steel and non-ferrous metals. The plug chamfer design suits most standard tapping operations.
High Speed Steel Construction and Bright Finish
The uncoated bright finish allows visual inspection of the cutting edges during use. Three flutes provide efficient chip evacuation ahead of the tap in through-hole work. High speed steel maintains hardness at elevated temperatures generated during cutting. Right-hand threading matches the most common fastener orientation.
Replaces Worn or Damaged 7/16-20 UNF Taps
This tap replaces dull or broken tools of the same thread specification to restore thread quality. The H3 thread limit produces a class 2B fit for standard assemblies. A 9.95 mm drill size prepares the correct hole for 75 percent thread engagement. The jump is worth it when existing taps produce undersized or rough threads that compromise fastener holding power.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Cleveland C57195 spiral point tap, and what step is commonly missed?
Drill the hole to the 9.95 mm size for 75 percent thread depth, then run the tap straight with cutting fluid. The step often missed is using the correct drill diameter before tapping.
What maintenance or replacement will this tap need over time?
The high speed steel cutting edges will dull with use. Replace the tap when threads become rough or oversized, as the uncoated bright finish cannot be restored.
What limit appears first when tapping repeatedly in tough material?
The H3 thread limit and 2B class of fit define the tolerance window. Excessive wear or chip packing in the three flutes will cause the tap to exceed this limit first.
