Cleveland #6-32 UNC Tap Kit

The Cleveland C54226 set supplies three straight-flute hand taps for cutting #6-32 UNC threads. Each tap is made from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish. The kit includes taper, plug and bottoming styles so you can start, deepen and finish a thread in one workflow. It suits maintenance, repair and light production tasks where a right-hand internal thread is required.

Tool material and cutting action

High speed steel construction resists wear during manual threading operations. The three-flute geometry clears chips efficiently while the bright finish reduces friction without added coating thickness. Thread limit H3 and class of fit 2B deliver a standard tolerance suitable for general-purpose fastener assembly. Right-hand thread direction matches common hardware.

Deciding specification — 75 % thread drill size #36

The single figure that determines whether this set matches your job is the 75 percent thread drill size of #36. If your tap drill chart or drawing calls for a different drill size for #6-32 UNC, this kit will not produce the intended thread engagement. Verify the required drill before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How do I install the three-piece #6-32 UNC tap set, and which one should I start with?

Begin with the taper tap to start the thread, follow with the plug tap to deepen it, and finish with the bottoming tap to reach full depth in a blind hole.

What maintenance or replacement will the high-speed steel taps need over time?

The bright uncoated HSS taps will dull with use; they can be resharpened, but once the three flutes wear beyond regrind the set must be replaced.

What limit appears first during sustained threading of #6-32 UNC holes?

The 11/16 inch thread length and 2 inch overall length restrict the maximum depth you can cut in a single pass.
