Cleveland C02912 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 65 Hss 118 Deg

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C02912 is a wire gauge size 65 jobber length drill bit manufactured from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish. Measuring 0.0350 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in overall length, this bit features a 118-degree standard point angle and a fast spiral flute configuration for efficient chip evacuation. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.0350 inches in diameter with a shank length of 0.875 inches. Web-thinned geometry reduces thrust and improves penetration. Installed by machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, and maintenance technicians, this bit is suited for precision small-diameter drilling in production and maintenance environments.

The C02912 is rated for primary use in aluminum and is classified as a general purpose drill bit under the Series 2012 line. It produces a right-hand cut with a two-flute spiral design and carries ASME B94.11M compliance, meeting ANSI specification designation standards. The flute length is 0.625 inches. This bit is appropriate for bench drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations where fine wire gauge sizing is required for small fastener clearance holes, pilot holes, or precision bore work.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 65 with 0.0350 inch decimal diameter
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced entry thrust
• Fast spiral two-flute design promotes chip clearance in aluminum and similar materials
• Bright uncoated high speed steel construction for general purpose use
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks
• Meets ASME B94.11M standard per ANSI specification

Compatibility

Designed as a general purpose wire gauge drill bit for use in standard drill chucks and collets accepting a 0.0350-inch straight-cylindrical shank, suitable for bench, hand, and CNC drilling equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this bit should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with small-diameter tooling. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck runout is within acceptable tolerance for the diameter. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling metals to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Do not exceed the recommended RPM range for the material and diameter being drilled.
