Cleveland C96122 Spiral Point Tap
The Cleveland C96122 is a spiral point tap designed for creating internal UNC threads in through-hole applications. It suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need reliable thread cutting in steel or alloy materials.
1/2-13 UNC thread size with 3 flutes
This tap cuts a 1/2 inch minus 13 UNC thread form, which is the single specification that determines whether it matches the required fastener. The three-flute cobalt construction with black oxide finish provides wear resistance for general-purpose threading tasks.
Plug chamfer for through-hole threading
The plug chamfer style pushes chips ahead of the cut, making it suited for through holes where chip evacuation is straightforward. It requires a 0.4219 inch drill size for 75 percent thread engagement and a compatible tap holder or wrench for operation.

Questions about this item
What does the 1/2-13 UNC size mean when I put the tap in the machine?
It cuts a half-inch coarse thread with 13 threads per inch, matching the 2B class of fit for standard nuts and bolts.
How does the spiral-point design affect chip flow on a CNC or manual tapper?
The spiral point pushes chips ahead of the tap through a through-hole, reducing torque and preventing clogging in steel.
What shank and square dimensions does the C96122 need to fit my holder?
The overall length is 4 21/64 in with a 1 17/32 in thread length, requiring a holder that accepts standard UNC tap shanks.
