Cleveland C55336 Spiral Point Tap

This Cleveland C55336 is a spiral point tap designed for creating 5/8-11 UNC threads in through holes. It is made from high speed steel with a TiN coating for wear resistance. The tool features three flutes and a right hand thread direction. It suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need reliable thread production in steel and similar materials.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

The 5/8-11 UNC size and H3 thread limit fit applications requiring a Class 2B fit. The 75 percent thread drill size of 13.60 mm helps users select the correct tap drill. Buyers who need a different thread form, a larger diameter, or a bottoming tap for blind holes should look elsewhere. This tap is not for left hand threading or for thread forms other than UNC.

The specification that decides fit

The thread size of 5/8-11 UNC is the single specification that decides whether this is the right part. If the drawing calls for a different pitch, diameter or class of fit, this tap will not produce the correct thread. Verify the required thread designation before ordering.

Questions about this item

What drill bit diameter do I need before using the 5/8-11 UNC spiral point tap?

The tap requires a 75 percent thread drill size of 13.60 mm to prepare the hole correctly before threading.

Will this tap fit a standard right-hand thread hole in my existing tooling?

Yes, the tap is right-hand threaded with a 5/8-11 UNC pitch and H3 thread limit for a Class 2B fit.

How can I confirm the tap is cutting properly after I start the hole?

Check that chips are pushed forward ahead of the cutting edges, which is the characteristic action of the spiral point design.
