CLEVELAND 5/16"-18 UNC General Purpose Thread-Forming Tap

The CLEVELAND C59301 thread forming tap is used to create internal threads in ductile materials like aluminum, brass, and low-carbon steel. It forms threads by displacing material rather than cutting, producing stronger threads with no chips. Common applications include automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing where clean, burr-free threads are required.

The CLEVELAND C59301 is a 5/16"-18 UNC thread forming tap with an H7 / 2B-3B tolerance class. It features a plug chamfer and is made from high-speed steel. The manufacturer part number is C59301. This general-purpose tap is designed for through-hole or blind-hole threading in materials that deform rather than chip.

Select the CLEVELAND thread forming tap based on thread size, pitch, and tolerance class. For the C59301, use 5/16"-18 UNC with H7 / 2B-3B fit. Ensure the material is ductile (e.g., aluminum, brass) to allow thread forming. Match the chamfer type to your hole: plug chamfer for general use. Always verify hole size per tap drill charts for proper thread formation.
