Cleveland C03095 Jobber Drill Bit 9/32 Inch Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C03095 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, aluminum, and similar materials. Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it measures 9/32 inch (0.2812 inch) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle. The overall length is 4-1/4 inches, and the spiral flute geometry is fast-spiral with a web-thinned, tapered web configuration. Right-hand cutting direction and a straight-cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks. Licensed tradespeople and machinists across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades rely on this bit for everyday hole-making tasks on sheet metal, brackets, and structural components.

The C03095 is suited for light to medium-duty drilling in aluminum and general-purpose metalworking applications. Its 2-flute spiral design evacuates chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations. The 1.3125-inch shank length seats securely in keyless or keyed chucks. With a flute length of 2.938 inches, it handles material thicknesses common in mechanical and electrical rough-in work. The Series 2012 designation places it within a recognized line of production-grade jobber bits intended for shop and field use.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in standard three-jaw keyed or keyless drill chucks accepting a 9/32-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece material is aluminum; suitable for general metalworking applications consistent with the Series 2012 product line.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly rated drill press, hand drill, or right-angle drill before applying power. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and confirm the bit runs true before contact with the workpiece. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling aluminum to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Always wear eye protection and follow applicable shop safety practices when operating rotary cutting tools.
