Cleveland C03692 Jobber Length Drill Bit 7/16 in Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C03692 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, aluminum, and similar materials. Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it features a 118-degree standard point angle and a two-flute slow spiral design. The straight cylindrical shank measures 7/16 inches in diameter, matching the cutting diameter for direct chuck mounting. Overall length is 5.5 inches with a flute length of 4-1/16 inches. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust at entry and improves chip evacuation. This bit is suited for use by machinists, HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and electricians performing layout and installation drilling on the job.

The C03692 is a right-hand cut, jobber-length bit from the Cleveland Series 2020 line. It is well matched to aluminum, general-purpose metals, and similar workpiece materials in both shop and field settings. The 7/16-inch diameter falls within the 0.4000 to 0.5000 inch drill bit size range, making it a standard size for a wide variety of trade drilling tasks including conduit layout, bracket mounting, and mechanical fitting work. It ships individually and can be ordered as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Drill bits of this type are installed and operated by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general trade professionals using handheld drills or bench-mounted drill presses. Ensure the chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is secured before operation. Coolant-through is not supported on this bit; use an appropriate cutting fluid externally when drilling ferrous or harder materials to manage heat. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
