The bit features a 5\/8 inch cutting diameter paired with a 3\/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank, allowing use in standard 3\/8 inch chucks without requiring a larger chuck. Constructed from high-speed steel with a coated finish, the C20661 delivers reliable wear resistance in production and maintenance drilling applications. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and allows drilling without a center punch on most surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for trade professionals including machinists, maintenance technicians, HVAC installers, and electricians who need to drill larger-diameter holes using equipment with a 3\/8 inch chuck. The reduced shank design makes it practical for portable drills and drill presses with smaller capacity chucks. With a 7-1\/8 inch overall length and a flute length of approximately 5.19 inches, it handles standard through-hole applications in light-gauge steel, aluminum, plastic, and similar materials. The right-hand cut and regular spiral flutes promote efficient chip evacuation during drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/8 inch cutting diameter with 3\/8 inch reduced shank fits standard 3\/8 inch chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces drill walking and eliminates the need for center punching on most materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides heat resistance and durability in metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoated finish extends tool life by reducing friction and wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0012 inches for consistent hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a reduced shank drill bit compatible with any 3\/8 inch capacity chuck, including portable electric drills and bench drill presses.

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and tighten all jaws evenly before use. Wear appropriate eye protection when drilling. Do not exceed the rated speed for the material being drilled, and apply cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch (0.6250 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7-1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: approximately 5.19 inches (131.76 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.9374 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\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 Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral (Regular)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0012 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1809\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.22 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: C20661\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLE-LINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51973166793010,"sku":"C20661","price":61.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0454747b6f0f810352cb9dbadf961ce0.jpg?v=1789972258","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cle-line-c20661-reduced-shank-drill-bit-5-8-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
