- Cobalt construction resists heat and wear in tough materials
- #6-40 UNF thread fits precise fine-pitch applications
- Three flutes balance strength and chip evacuation
- Hard Lube coating reduces friction and extends tool life
Cleveland C96007 Spiral Point Tap
The Cleveland C96007 is a spiral point tap designed for creating internal threads in through-hole applications. It features a #6-40 UNF thread size and is manufactured from cobalt for enhanced wear resistance and durability in demanding materials.
Suited for right-hand threading in through holes
This tap suits machinists and technicians producing #6-40 UNF threads in through-hole work where efficient chip evacuation is required. It is not suited for blind-hole threading where chips must be pulled upward, nor for left-hand thread requirements or larger thread diameters.
#6-40 UNF thread size with 3 cobalt flutes
The defining specification is the #6-40 UNF thread size combined with three cobalt flutes and a Hard Lube coating. This configuration determines the tap's compatibility with a #33 drill size for 75 percent thread engagement and a 2B class of fit for standard precision assembly.

Questions about this item
What tap drill size is needed for the #6-40 UNF threads?
The 75 percent thread drill size is #33, which matches the recommended drill for this thread specification.
How do you correctly start the tap in the hole?
Apply cutting fluid, align the spiral point tap perpendicular to the workpiece, and use steady forward pressure to let the plug chamfer engage cleanly.
When should this cobalt tap be replaced?
Replace the tap when thread quality degrades, flutes show wear, or the tool struggles to cut cleanly in the material.
