Cleveland C01824 Jobber Drill Bit No 68 Hss 118 Degree

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C01824 is a jobber-length drill bit sized to wire gauge No. 68, with a decimal diameter of 0.0310 inches. Built from high-speed steel with an oxide coating, it features a standard 118-degree split-point geometry and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration for reduced thrust on entry. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.0310 inches in diameter and 0.875 inches in length. Overall length is 1.375 inches with a flute length of 0.500 inches. Two spiral flutes in a regular helix provide chip evacuation during drilling. This bit is installed by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians working with precision small-diameter drilling applications.

The C01824 is designed for general-purpose drilling in aluminum and similar non-ferrous materials, though its high-speed steel construction and standard geometry make it suitable across a range of light-to-medium drilling tasks. With an overall length of 1.375 inches, it fits standard drill chucks and CNC toolholders that accept straight-cylindrical shanks in this diameter range. It is commonly used in production, maintenance, and repair environments where consistent hole quality in small-diameter wire-gauge sizes is required. Coolant-through capability is not available on this design.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size No. 68, decimal diameter 0.0310 inches for precise small-diameter work
• High-speed steel construction with oxide coating for wear resistance and heat management
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• Regular spiral, two-flute design promotes chip removal during drilling
• Right-hand cutting direction; straight-cylindrical shank for broad chuck compatibility
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks and toolholders accepting a 0.0310-inch straight-cylindrical shank, per ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 specifications.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in a properly sized drill chuck or collet before operation and verify runout before drilling. Disconnect or de-energize the drilling machine before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling materials that generate heat, even though this bit does not support internal coolant delivery. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine guarding requirements during use.
