Cleveland C96110 Spiral Point Tap #10-24 3 Flutes

SKU CH-7QXE-D8ZYC

Cuts #10-24 UNC threads in through-holes with a cobalt spiral-point plug tap that pushes chips ahead of the cut

  • #10-24 UNC thread cuts cleanly with spiral-point design
  • Cobalt steel with black oxide resists wear in tough materials
  • Three flutes evacuate chips efficiently for smoother tapping
  • Right-hand 2B class fit matches standard fastener specs
  • 2-3/4 in overall length reaches deeper holes easily

Cleveland #10-24 Spiral Point Tap

The Cleveland C96110 is a spiral point tap designed for threading operations in through-hole applications. It features a #10-24 UNC thread size with a right-hand thread direction. The tool is made from cobalt steel with a black oxide finish for wear resistance. It has an overall length of 2 3/4 inches and a thread length of 1 1/32 inches.

Suited for through-hole tapping in general-purpose

This tap suits machinists and maintenance technicians creating internal threads in through-holes where chip evacuation forward is preferred. The spiral point design pushes chips ahead of the cutting action. It is not intended for blind-hole work where chips must be pulled upward, nor for left-hand thread requirements. The 2B class of fit provides a standard tolerance for general fastening.

Three-flute cobalt construction with #25 drill size

The tap has three flutes and a 75 percent thread drill size of #25, which determines the core hole diameter needed before tapping. This specific drill size is the critical specification for ensuring correct thread engagement and tool life. Using an incorrect drill size will result in improper thread depth or tap breakage.

Questions about this item

Will the cobalt spiral-point tap need resharpening or replacement after threading many #10-24 holes?

Cobalt construction resists wear longer than high-speed steel, but the cutting edges will eventually dull; plan to resharpen or replace once thread quality drops.

What limits continuous use when tapping #10-24 threads in steel?

Chip evacuation through the three spiral-point flutes is the first bottleneck; packed chips increase torque and can break the tap if not cleared.

How much heat does the tap generate during all-day production tapping?

Friction at the 1 1/32 in thread length produces noticeable heat; use cutting fluid and allow cool-down pauses to protect the 2B class-of-fit accuracy.
