Cle-line C22681 Jobber Drill Bit No. 29 Hss Oxide

Product Description

The CLE-LINE C22681 is a jobber length drill bit in wire size No. 29 (0.1360 inches) made from high speed steel with an oxide coating. It is designed for general-purpose drilling in production and maintenance environments where consistent hole quality is required. The 118-degree standard point angle and web-thinned tip reduce thrust force at entry and help center the bit without a pilot hole. The spiral flute geometry and right-hand cut make it a straightforward choice for HVAC techs, plumbers, electricians, and general tradespeople drilling sheet metal, structural members, and similar materials on the job.

This bit is suited for use on aluminum and a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. With an overall length of 2.875 inches and a flute length of 1.75 inches, it fits standard drill chucks and is sized for hand drills, drill presses, and cordless drivers. The straight-cylindrical shank diameter of 0.1360 inches seats securely in both keyless and keyed chucks. It is commonly used in residential and light commercial trade work where a reliable, off-the-shelf wire gauge bit is needed.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck jaws before drilling and verify the bit is centered and running true before applying feed pressure. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel to extend bit life and maintain hole tolerance. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and wear eye protection during all drilling operations. Dispose of worn bits per shop protocols and inspect the cutting edges before each use.
