Cleveland C01012 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 80 Hss 118 Deg

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C01012 is a jobber-length drill bit sized to wire gauge No. 80, with a decimal diameter of 0.0135 inches. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating, it is designed for general-purpose drilling in ferrous materials. The 118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of metal drilling applications. With an overall length of 0.75 inches and a straight-cylindrical shank, this bit is a compact, precision tool used by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance professionals working with very small-diameter holes.

This drill bit is suited for drilling cast iron and steel in light manufacturing, maintenance, and precision machining environments. The No. 80 wire gauge size is commonly used for tap drilling, instrument work, and small-bore applications where tight dimensional control is required. The two-flute spiral design clears chips efficiently at this diameter, and the web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces thrust force during entry. It is sold individually and is subject to a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• Wire gauge No. 80 diameter at 0.0135 inches for precision small-bore drilling
• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for wear resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose metal drilling
• Right-hand cut, two-flute spiral design for efficient chip evacuation
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces drilling thrust in hard materials
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock drill bit for use with standard drill presses, CNC machines, and hand drills equipped with collets or chucks sized for a 0.0135-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece materials are cast iron and steel.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with small-diameter tooling. Secure the shank fully in a properly sized collet or drill chuck before operation to prevent runout and bit breakage. At this diameter, low feed pressure and appropriate RPM selection are critical to avoid snapping the bit. Always verify chuck or collet condition before use with wire-gauge drill bits.
