Cleveland C59236 Thread Forming Tap #8-32 UNC
This Cleveland C59236 tap forms internal threads in #8-32 UNC sizes using high-speed steel construction. It suits maintenance technicians and machinists who need to create threads without producing chips in ductile materials.
Bottoming design with bright uncoated finish
The bottoming style cuts threads close to the bottom of blind holes while the bright finish provides corrosion resistance without coating buildup. Zero flutes and a right-hand thread direction allow smooth entry and consistent thread formation in through or blind applications.
High-speed steel handles moderate torque and heat
The HSS body withstands the friction of thread forming in steel or aluminium when used with proper lubrication. A 75 percent thread depth and 3.75 mm drill size produce a 2B class fit, reducing tap breakage risk during repeated hand or machine operations.
