Cleveland C01032 Jobber Length Drill Bit Size 71 Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C01032 is a jobber length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metalworking applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating for added surface hardness and corrosion resistance, this bit carries a wire gauge size of 71, equal to 0.0260 inches in diameter. The standard 118-degree drill point angle suits a broad range of common materials. With an overall length of 1.25 inches and a flute length of 0.375 inches, it is sized for precision work in tight or shallow drilling scenarios. Licensed HVAC techs, machinists, and general trade professionals reach for bits in this series when clean, accurate small-diameter holes are required.

This bit is suited for drilling cast iron and steel in residential and light commercial maintenance or fabrication settings. The straight cylindrical shank allows it to seat in standard drill chucks without modification. The two-flute spiral design with a regular spiral type and web-thinned, tapered web configuration promotes chip evacuation and reduces walking at entry. It conforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards, making it a suitable choice when dimensional compliance is specified on the job.

Key Features

• Wire size 71 (0.0260 inches) for precision small-diameter drilling
• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for durability and heat resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose use on cast iron and steel
• Two-flute regular spiral design with web-thinned tapered web for efficient chip clearing
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber length drill bit for use with standard drill chucks in bench-top, handheld, and CNC drilling applications on cast iron and steel workpieces.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals using standard drill equipment. Secure the straight cylindrical shank firmly in the chuck before operation and verify runout before drilling. Use appropriate cutting speed for the workpiece material to avoid overheating the HSS cutting edge. Coolant-through is not supported on this bit; apply cutting fluid externally when drilling harder steels to extend tool life.
