Cleveland C01812 Jobber Length Drill Bit Wire Size 75

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C01812 is a jobber-length drill bit sized to wire gauge number 75, with a decimal diameter of 0.0210 inches. It is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating for surface protection and reduced friction during drilling. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle, a spiral regular flute configuration, and a straight-cylindrical shank. The overall length is 1 inch, with a flute length of 0.25 inches and a shank length of 0.750 inches. The web is thinned and tapered for improved chip evacuation and reduced thrust. This bit is suited for general-purpose drilling work and is installed by machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance mechanics.

The C01812 is designed for general-purpose drilling in aluminum and other non-ferrous or soft materials. Its small diameter and short overall length make it well-suited for precision hole work in tight areas or on small workpieces. The right-hand cut spiral flute promotes consistent chip removal at low feed rates typical of small-diameter wire-gauge drilling. This bit is commonly used in bench drill press, hand drill, and CNC drilling applications where fine wire-gauge holes are required.

• High speed steel construction with oxide finish coating
• Spiral regular flute with right-hand cutting direction for consistent chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank, 0.0210 inches diameter, compatible with standard drill chucks
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit in the CLEVELAND Series 2001 line, suitable for use with standard drill chucks and collets accepting a 0.0210-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Install and remove small-diameter drill bits only with the machine fully powered down and the spindle at a complete stop. Use a precision drill chuck rated for small-diameter tooling to minimize runout, as excessive runout can snap wire-gauge bits at these diameters. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines for spindle speed and feed rate when working at sub-0.025-inch diameters. Inspect the cutting point before each use — wire-gauge bits are fragile and should be replaced at the first sign of tip damage or chipping.
