Cleveland 55122 UNF Threading Tool

This Cleveland 55122 straight flute tap cuts 5/16-24 UNF threads in a single pass. The plug chamfer and four flutes suit general-purpose threading in steel and non-ferrous metals. Right-hand orientation and H3 thread limit produce a Class 2B fit. High-speed steel with TiN coating extends edge life for workshop and maintenance tasks.

Installation Notes

Secure the workpiece and select the 75 percent thread drill size I before starting. Apply cutting fluid and advance the tap with steady, aligned pressure to avoid cross-threading. The 11/16 in thread length and 2 23/32 in overall length require adequate clearance in the setup. Reverse periodically to break chips and prevent flute packing.

Sustained Use Behaviour

TiN coating reduces friction during repeated cuts, maintaining dimensional accuracy over longer runs. High-speed steel resists softening when heat builds in continuous threading operations. Four-flute design evacuates chips efficiently, lowering torque spikes that can damage threads. The tool remains consistent for batch work without frequent resharpening.
