Cleveland C96114 Spiral Point Tap Plug 3 Flutes 1/4-20 UNC Cobalt Black Oxide

Cleveland C96114 Spiral Point Tap

The Cleveland C96114 is a spiral point tap designed for creating internal threads in through holes. It features a 1/4-20 UNC thread size with three flutes and a cobalt construction with black oxide finish. This tool suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need reliable thread cutting in steel and similar materials. The right-hand cutting direction matches standard threading requirements.

Suited for through-hole threading in steel

This tap suits users cutting new threads or chasing existing 1/4-20 UNC threads in through-hole applications where chip evacuation ahead of the tool is preferred. The spiral point design pushes chips forward, reducing packing in deep holes. Buyers who need a bottoming tap for blind holes or a different thread form should look at alternative tap styles. The 2B class of fit meets general industrial tolerance requirements.

Verify hole size and tool holding before ordering

Check that your drill size matches the 75 percent thread drill specification for proper thread engagement. Confirm your tap holder or wrench accommodates the shank dimensions for this 3 5/32 inch overall length tool. The thread length of 1 17/64 inch determines the maximum effective threading depth in a single pass. Ensure the workpiece material is compatible with cobalt cutting edges.
