Cleveland C01799 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 80 Hss Oxide

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C01799 is a wire gauge size 80 jobber length drill bit designed for precision drilling in general-purpose trade and metalworking applications. Manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating, this bit measures 0.0135 inches in diameter with a 0.75 inch overall length and a 118-degree standard point angle. The two-flute, right-hand spiral design promotes clean chip evacuation, while the web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting resistance and entry force at small diameters. Licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and tooling specialists are the primary users of this bit.

This drill bit is suited for drilling small-diameter holes in aluminum and other general-purpose workpiece materials. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks, collets, and pin vises used in precision hand drilling, CNC drilling, and bench drill press setups. At 0.75 inch overall length, this is a short, stiff bit intended for close-tolerance applications where rigidity and control matter more than reach. The Series 2001 designation places it within a recognized family of jobber-length wire gauge tooling.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 80 — 0.0135 inch decimal diameter for precision small-hole work
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling across common materials
• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for wear resistance
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces entry force and walking at startup
• Right-hand, two-flute spiral design for efficient chip evacuation
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber length wire gauge drill bit suitable for use in standard drill chucks, pin vises, and collet holders that accept a 0.0135 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician in a drill chuck, collet, or pin vise appropriate for the shank diameter. Secure the shank fully before operation and confirm the holder is rated for small-diameter tooling to prevent runout. Use cutting fluid when drilling metals to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Inspect the bit for chipping or wear before each use, as small wire gauge bits are susceptible to breakage under side load or misalignment.
