Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a black and gold oxide coating, it runs a 135-degree split point that self-centers on contact and reduces walking without a center punch. The web-thinned, tapered web geometry lowers thrust requirements and improves chip evacuation. At 0.3230 inches in diameter and 4.625 inches overall length, this bit fits standard drill chucks and is suited for production and maintenance drilling where precision and tool life matter. Licensed trades and machinists working in fabrication, mechanical, or HVAC sheet-metal applications will find this a reliable daily-use bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C18043 is built for drilling steel and cast iron in both shop and field environments. Its straight cylindrical shank and 3.3125-inch regular spiral flute length make it compatible with standard 3-jaw drill chucks on benchtop drill presses, magnetic drills, and hand-held power drills. The right-hand cutting direction and two-flute spiral configuration handle through-hole and clearance-hole work in structural steel, pipe flanges, electrical enclosures, and similar ferrous materials common in trade applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point self-centers and eliminates pilot-hole requirement on most ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces axial thrust and improves chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack and gold oxide coating provides lubricity and surface hardness for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-flute regular spiral geometry clears chips efficiently in through-hole drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards for dimensional accuracy and performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a heavy-duty OEM-style jobber drill bit for use in standard drill chucks; primary workpiece materials are steel and cast iron as specified by the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is installed and operated by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, HVAC technicians, and other trades performing metal drilling. Always secure the workpiece before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace if chipping or dulling is observed. Disconnect or de-energize the drill before changing bits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3230 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\/Gold Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.3125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3230 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.3122 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0010 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1878\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B94.11M, DIN 338\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.838 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CLE-LINE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C18043\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLE-LINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972089348402,"sku":"C18043","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d58b798d5f1a66a19890d8d0827a0c51_dc4a88e7-4bee-4045-a795-c531a40c122b.jpg?v=1789962406","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cle-line-c18043-letter-p-hss-jobber-drill-bit-135-deg","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
