Cleveland C58562 Spiral Flute Tap
The Cleveland C58562 is a spiral flute tap designed to cut unified coarse threads in a variety of materials. It features three flutes and a plug chamfer for starting threads in through holes or blind holes with adequate clearance. The high-speed steel construction provides durability for general-purpose threading tasks. Bright uncoated finish allows for easy visual inspection of the cutting edges.
Suited for right-hand UNC threading jobs
This tap suits machinists and maintenance technicians cutting 1/4 In. -20 UNC threads with a class 2B fit. The H3 thread limit and number 7 drill size requirement match standard production specifications. It is not for left-hand thread applications or for users needing a coated tool for extended life in abrasive alloys. Buyers requiring a bottoming chamfer for blind holes near the bottom should look at a different tap style.
1/4 In. -20 UNC thread size defines fit
The thread size of 1/4 In. -20 UNC is the single specification that determines whether this tap matches the required fastener. An incorrect thread size or pitch will produce threads that do not accept the intended bolt or screw. Verify the thread designation on the engineering drawing or part specification before selecting this tool. The H3 limit and 2B class of fit further refine the tolerance for the intended assembly.
