Cle-line C22506 Jobber Drill Bit 13/32 Inch Hss Oxide

Product Description

The CLE-LINE C22506 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metalworking and light fabrication applications. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, it measures 13/32 inch (0.4063 inch) in diameter and delivers a 5.25-inch overall length with a 3.875-inch flute length. The 118-degree standard point angle and web-thinned, tapered web construction promote clean entry and reduce walking on flat stock. Two spiral flutes with a right-hand cut clear chips efficiently during operation. This bit is sized and finished to handle moderate production drilling demands on a daily basis.

The C22506 is intended for drilling aluminum and similar non-ferrous and general-purpose materials in shop and field environments. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks on handheld drills, drill presses, and CNC-style drill stations without an adapter. It is a practical choice for HVAC sheet metal work, plumbing rough-in drilling, electrical trade boring, and general maintenance drilling where a reliable jobber-length bit is needed in a 13/32-inch size.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for corrosion resistance and surface hardness
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced thrust and cleaner entry
• Two regular spiral flutes with right-hand cut for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank at 0.4063 inch diameter fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 dimensional standards
• General-purpose grade suitable for aluminum and comparable workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in any standard drill chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at 13/32 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople using standard drill equipment. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and confirm the bit runs true before applying feed pressure. Follow appropriate cutting speeds for the workpiece material and use cutting fluid when drilling steel or harder alloys to preserve edge life. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace if the point shows rollover or heat discoloration.
