Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CLEVELAND Thread Forming Tap used for?
A CLEVELAND Thread Forming Tap is used to create internal threads in ductile materials such as aluminum, brass, and low-carbon steel.

Common applications include automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing where thread integrity is critical.

The CLEVELAND C59302 is a general purpose thread forming tap with size 5/16"-18 UNC, H7 / 2B-3B tolerance, bottoming chamfer, and high speed steel construction. It is designed for through or blind holes and produces threads with a class 2B or 3B fit. The H7 tolerance ensures precise thread dimensions.
