Cle-line C22706 Jobber Drill Bit No. 8 Hss Oxide

Product Description

The CLE-LINE C22706 is a No. 8 wire-size jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metalworking and fabrication applications. Manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating for added wear resistance, the bit measures 3.625 inches overall with a 2.4375-inch spiral flute length and a 0.1990-inch straight-cylindrical shank. The 118-degree standard point angle and right-hand spiral flute geometry deliver reliable chip evacuation and consistent hole quality. This bit is web-thinned with a tapered web configuration, reducing thrust and improving penetration in a range of materials. It conforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards. Sold individually; minimum order quantity is 12 units.

The C22706 is suited for drilling aluminum and similar non-ferrous and ferrous workpiece materials in production and maintenance environments. The general-purpose grade makes it a practical stock bit for job shops, mechanical contractors, and fabricators who need reliable performance across varied material types. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks on benchtop drill presses and handheld power drills alike. No coolant-through capability is present, making the bit appropriate for dry or externally lubricated drilling operations.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style replacement or stock bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting a 0.1990-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece material suitability includes aluminum and similar machinable materials per the Series 1899 specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians using a drill press or handheld power drill with a compatible chuck. Ensure the chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is secured before operation. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous materials to extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace any bit that shows visible damage.
