Cleveland C02927 Jobber Drill Bit Size 56 Hss 118 Degree

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C02927 is a wire gauge size 56 jobber length drill bit manufactured from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for easier penetration and reduced thrust. The 2-flute spiral fast helix design promotes efficient chip evacuation during drilling operations. At 1.75 inches overall length with a 0.75-inch flute length and a straight cylindrical shank, this bit is sized for small-diameter precision work. The decimal diameter is 0.0465 inches with a tight tolerance of -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and general tradespeople install this bit in drill presses, hand drills, and CNC machines for light-duty hole making.

This drill bit is rated for general-purpose drilling with aluminum listed as the primary workpiece material, though its HSS construction and web-thinned standard point make it suitable for similar soft metals and plastics encountered in trade and light industrial settings. The straight cylindrical shank at 0.0465 inches diameter fits standard drill chucks without adapters. The tapered web configuration provides additional strength at the tip. This bit is sold individually and is available in multiples to keep tooling stocked for production or service work requiring repeated small-hole drilling.

Key Features

• 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for reduced entry thrust
• Fast spiral 2-flute geometry promotes chip clearance in soft metals and plastics
• High speed steel construction with bright uncoated finish for general-purpose durability
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without additional tooling
• Conforms to ASME B94.11M and ANSI specification designation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style jobber drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting a 0.0465-inch straight cylindrical shank, suitable for use in drill presses, hand drills, and CNC equipment configured for small-diameter wire gauge bits.

Installation Notes

Installation of this drill bit should be performed by a qualified machinist or tradesperson familiar with small-diameter tooling. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before operation to prevent bit deflection or breakage at this diameter. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow the machine manufacturer's recommended speed and feed settings for the workpiece material. Do not apply excessive lateral force, as wire gauge bits are susceptible to breakage under side loading.
