Cleveland C01828 Jobber Length Drill Bit Wire Size 66

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C01828 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal fabrication and maintenance applications. It is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide finish that provides basic lubricity and corrosion resistance during cutting operations. The bit measures 0.0330 inches in diameter (wire size 66) with an overall length of 1.375 inches and a flute length of 0.5 inches. The 118-degree standard point angle and web-thinned tip reduce entry force and walking on initiation. Two spiral flutes with a right-hand cut clear chips efficiently. This bit is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworkers using standard drill presses or hand-held power drills.

The C01828 is suited for drilling aluminum and other non-ferrous and light ferrous materials in production and field maintenance settings. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapter requirements. The tapered web configuration and regular spiral make it appropriate for through-hole and blind-hole work in thin stock where precision hole sizing at the small-diameter range is required. It conforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards, making it appropriate for shops that specify dimensionally controlled tooling.

Key Features

• Wire size 66 diameter of 0.0330 inches with a diameter tolerance of -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches
• 118-degree standard split point with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced thrust on entry
• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for basic lubricity and chip flow
• Right-hand cut, two-flute regular spiral geometry for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank at 0.0330 inches diameter fits standard drill chucks directly
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accommodating straight-cylindrical shanks in the 0.0000 to 0.0500 inch decimal inch size range.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in a properly sized drill chuck before operation and verify chuck key is removed before powering the spindle. At this diameter, feed pressure should be kept light and consistent to avoid bit breakage. Cutting fluid or light oil is recommended when drilling aluminum or steel to extend tool life. Inspect the point for wear or chipping before each use, as small-diameter bits are susceptible to tip damage under excessive side loading.
