Cleveland C02914 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 64 Hss 118 Deg

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C02914 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for precision drilling in light-gauge and small-diameter applications. Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this bit carries a wire gauge size of 64, translating to a decimal diameter of 0.0360 inches. The 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose drilling across a range of materials. With an overall length of 1.5 inches and a fast spiral flute configuration, the C02914 delivers efficient chip evacuation in short-bore work. It is installed by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance trades requiring fine wire-gauge tooling.

The C02914 is rated for use on aluminum as its primary workpiece material and is well suited to precision drilling tasks in light manufacturing, electronics assembly, and mechanical maintenance environments. The straight-cylindrical shank with a diameter of 0.0366 inches seats securely in standard drill chucks and collets. The two-flute spiral design and web-thinned, tapered web geometry reduce thrust load and improve centering at entry, making the bit practical for hand drill presses and benchtop drill presses alike. This bit ships individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units per purchase.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use with standard drill chucks and collets accepting straight-cylindrical shanks in the 0.036-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of small-diameter drill bits should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with feed-rate and speed selection for the workpiece material. Always secure the workpiece fully before drilling and confirm the chuck is tightened properly around the shank to prevent bit slippage or breakage. Given the small diameter of this bit, excessive feed pressure can cause deflection or snapping — follow the drill manufacturer and material guidelines for surface footage and feed rate. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace any bit showing chipping or dullness.
