Cleveland C01822 Jobber Drill Bit Wire Size 69 Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C01822 is a jobber-length drill bit in wire gauge size 69, with a decimal diameter of 0.0292 inches. It is made from high speed steel with an oxide coating for basic lubricity and surface protection. The bit features a standard 118-degree split-point tip with web thinning and a tapered web configuration for improved centering and reduced feed force. Two spiral flutes in a regular helix pattern evacuate chips efficiently. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.0292 inches in diameter, matching the drill diameter. This bit is installed by machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians working on small-diameter through-hole applications.

The C01822 is suited for general-purpose drilling in aluminum and similar non-ferrous workpiece materials, though its general-purpose grade makes it viable across a range of soft to medium materials. With an overall length of 1.375 inches and a flute length of 0.500 inches, this bit is intended for precision small-hole work in light manufacturing, maintenance, and assembly environments. It conforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards under the ANSI specification designation, and falls within the Series 2001 product family from CLEVELAND.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by machinists and maintenance technicians using standard drill chucks or collets rated for the shank diameter. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify runout is within acceptable tolerance for the application. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling metals to extend bit life and maintain hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use, as small-diameter bits are susceptible to breakage under side-load or excessive feed pressure.
