Cleveland C02954 5/64 Inch Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C02954 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, aluminum, and similar materials. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit features a 118-degree standard point angle and a fast spiral flute geometry with web thinning for reduced thrust and cleaner entry. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 5/64 inch in diameter and seats securely in standard drill chucks. Overall length is 2 inches with a 1-inch flute length, making it well suited for close-quarter drilling and light-duty production work. Conforms to ASME B94.11M standards.

This bit is intended for right-hand cutting applications in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. The 5/64-inch diameter and jobber-length format are common in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical rough-in work where small pilot holes or sheet-metal penetrations are required. The fast spiral and web-thinned point are especially effective in aluminum and soft metals. Sold individually; minimum order quantity is 10 units per order.
