How to select the right CLE-LINE tap for a job?
Select a CLE-LINE tap based on thread size (e.g., 5/16"-18 UNC), material type, and hole configuration. For through holes, a spiral point tap like the C62160 pushes chips forward. For blind holes, use a spiral flute tap. Match the chamfer (plug, bottoming, or taper) to hole depth and tolerance class (H3 for 3B fit).
