Cleveland C96106 Spiral Point Tap Plug 3 Flutes #6-32 UNC Cobalt Black Oxide
Creates internal UNC threads in #6-32 holes using a three-flute cobalt spiral-point tap with black-oxide finish
- Cobalt construction extends tool life in tough materials
- Spiral point pushes chips ahead for smoother threading
- Three-flute design balances strength and chip clearance
- Black oxide finish resists corrosion and reduces friction
- #6-32 UNC thread fits standard coarse-pitch applications
Cleveland C96106 Spiral Point Tap
The Cleveland C96106 is a spiral point tap designed for creating internal threads in through-holes. It suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need reliable thread cutting in metalworking applications. The plug chamfer allows easier starting and alignment compared to bottoming taps. This tool handles general-purpose threading tasks where chip evacuation ahead of the cut is preferred.
#6-32 UNC thread with cobalt construction
The tap cuts a #6-32 UNC thread with a 2B class of fit and a thread length of 25/32 in. Cobalt material with black oxide finish provides hardness and wear resistance for cutting tougher steels and alloys. The 75 percent thread drill size is #36, giving a specific hole target for preparation. Three flutes balance chip clearance and tool strength during the cutting cycle.
2 13/64 in overall length for standard holders
The overall length of 2 13/64 in fits common tap wrenches and CNC tool holders without special adapters. Right-hand cutting direction matches standard threading operations on lathes or by hand. The spiral point design pushes chips forward, reducing flute clogging in deep through-holes. It does not suit blind holes where chips must be pulled upward and out.

Questions about this item
Will the #6-32 UNC thread cut cleanly into mild steel using my existing hand tap wrench?
The spiral-point design pushes chips forward, reducing binding in through-holes. Three flutes and cobalt substrate handle mild steel with a standard tap wrench when using cutting oil and the recommended #36 drill size.
How can I verify the tap is cutting a true 2B class-of-fit thread?
After tapping, a #6-32 UNC 2B go/no-go gauge should pass the go member and stop on the no-go member. Consistent resistance through the 25/32 in thread length and clean chip evacuation confirm correct geometry.
Does the package include the #36 drill bit or only the tap itself?
Only the spiral-point tap is supplied. The matching #36 drill bit, cutting fluid and a suitable tap wrench must be purchased separately to complete the 75 % thread depth hole.
