Cleveland C02934 Jobber Length Drill Bit Wire Size 54

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C02934 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, aluminum, and similar materials. Sized at wire gauge 54 (0.0550 inches in decimal), it features a 118-degree standard point angle and a fast spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation. Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, the C02934 delivers consistent performance in light to moderate production environments. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust at entry and improves centering. Licensed tradespeople and machining professionals who require a reliable, standard-geometry wire-gauge bit will find this a straightforward workhorse choice.

This bit is suited for drilling aluminum and other soft-to-medium metals in general fabrication, HVAC sheet metal work, electrical panel work, and maintenance applications where wire-gauge sizing is specified. With an overall length of 1.875 inches and a flute length of 0.875 inches, it fits standard drill chucks accepting a 0.0550-inch straight cylindrical shank. The Series 2012 designation aligns with ASME B94.11M and ANSI specification standards, making it appropriate for shops that reference those standards in their quality documentation.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 54 (0.0550 inches decimal) with tight diameter tolerance of -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• Fast spiral, 2-flute design promotes efficient chip clearing during drilling
• High-speed steel construction with bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose use
• Straight cylindrical shank (0.0550 inches) fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Meets ASME B94.11M and ANSI specification standards, Series 2012

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck or collet accepting a 0.0550-inch straight cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece material designation is aluminum, though the HSS construction is appropriate for a range of soft-to-medium metals and plastics.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this bit is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, electricians, or HVAC sheet metal workers using a hand drill, drill press, or CNC machine. Ensure the chuck is fully tightened and the bit is centered before beginning the cut. Secure the workpiece firmly to prevent walking at entry, particularly when drilling thin sheet stock. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and maintain cut quality.
