Cleveland C57232 Spiral Point Tap
This Cleveland C57232 spiral point tap cuts 5/8-11 UNC threads in through-hole applications. The plug-style design pushes chips ahead of the cutting edges for efficient evacuation. Three flutes provide balanced chip clearance during operation. Machinists and maintenance technicians use this tool for general-purpose threading tasks.
High-speed steel construction and H5 thread limit
High-speed steel construction offers standard wear resistance for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bright uncoated finish suits applications where coatings are unnecessary. The H5 thread limit produces a 2B-3B class of fit for standard assemblies. Right-hand cutting direction matches conventional threading requirements.
Thread length and drill size define capacity
Thread length measures 1 13/16 inches for the cutting portion. The recommended 75 percent thread drill size is 13.60 mm for proper thread engagement. Overall length reaches 3 13/16 inches for standard toolholder compatibility. Deeper threads or larger diameters require different tooling.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the H5 thread limit for my 5/8-11 UNC threading job?
The H5 limit produces a 2B-3B class of fit, suitable for general-purpose threading where standard tolerance is required on 5/8-11 UNC holes.
What does the 13.60 mm drill size mean when I prepare the hole?
Drill the hole to 13.60 mm to achieve approximately 75 percent thread engagement before tapping with this 5/8-11 UNC tool.
How does the spiral point design affect chip flow in a through-hole?
The spiral point pushes chips ahead of the tap, making it effective for through-hole threading in materials where forward chip evacuation is preferred.
