At 0.1040 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches overall length, this drill bit is built for general-purpose drilling in aluminum and similar non-ferrous metals. The standard 118-degree split point and fast spiral flute geometry promote clean entry and efficient chip evacuation. Web thinning reduces thrust requirements and improves centering. This bit is a go-to for machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who need a reliable wire gauge drill for small-diameter work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C02978 is suited for production and bench drilling operations where wire gauge precision is required. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters. The 1.4375-inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance for the typical hole depths encountered in sheet metal, aluminum stock, and light fabrication work. This bit is sold individually and is appropriate for hand-held drill presses and benchtop drill press use alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire gauge size 37 at 0.1040 inches diameter for precision small-bore work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across general-purpose applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for clean entry into aluminum and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFast spiral flute with web thinning reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to ASME B94.11M and ANSI specification standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement jobber length drill bit for use in standard drill presses and hand-held drills with chucks accepting a 0.1040-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Ensure the chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is securely clamped before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling aluminum to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point is damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1040 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral (Fast)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.4375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1040 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B94.11M, ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CLEVELAND\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C02978\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51715943006514,"sku":"C02978","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/66959d7f278112ca84a9f64385ca91cc.jpg?v=1788520038","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c02978-jobber-drill-bit-wire-37-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
