Cleveland C01825 Jobber Length Drill Bit 1/32 Inch Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C01825 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating, this bit handles everyday production drilling where consistent hole accuracy is required. It measures 1/32 inch (0.0312 inch decimal) in diameter with an overall length of 1-3/8 inches and a flute length of 1/2 inch. The 118-degree standard point angle is the industry-standard geometry suited to a wide range of workpiece materials. Machinists, maintenance techs, and trade professionals reach for jobber-length bits when a compact, rigid drill is needed for close-quarter or standard through-hole work.

The C01825 is rated for general-purpose use with a primary designation for aluminum and similar non-ferrous workpiece materials, though the HSS construction handles mild steel and plastics in typical shop and field conditions. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks on benchtop drill presses, handheld power drills, and CNC drill heads. At 1/32 inch diameter, this bit is commonly used for pilot holes, small fastener clearance holes, and precision layout drilling in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and light fabrication applications.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for improved lubricity and corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for broad material compatibility
• Web-thinned tapered web design reduces thrust and improves chip clearing
• Regular spiral flute with right-hand cut geometry
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards for jobber-length drill bits

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard 3-jaw chuck accepting a 1/32-inch straight-cylindrical shank on drill presses, handheld drills, and CNC drilling equipment.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in a properly sized drill chuck before operation and verify chuck tightening with a chuck key where applicable. At 1/32-inch diameter, use low feed pressure and appropriate drill speed for the workpiece material to avoid bit deflection or breakage. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured before drilling. Follow applicable shop safety practices and machine guarding requirements during use.
