Cleveland C04467 Screw Machine Drill Bit Wire 13 Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C04467 is a screw machine length (stub) drill bit in wire gauge size 13, equivalent to 0.1850 inches in decimal diameter. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit features a 118-degree standard point angle and a two-flute spiral configuration with web thinning for improved chip evacuation and reduced thrust during entry. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.1850 inches in diameter, matching the bit diameter for straightforward chuck setup. At an overall length of 2.1875 inches, the short-length design provides rigidity ideal for production drilling and close-tolerance applications. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical trades commonly stock screw machine bits for general-purpose metal drilling tasks.

This bit is suited for right-hand cutting into alloy steel and aluminum workpieces under general-purpose conditions. The screw machine (short) length format excels in drill press, CNC, and hand-drill applications where a standard jobber-length bit would flex or deflect. The parallel web configuration and web-thinned point reduce walking on entry without requiring a center punch on most setups. Tradespeople working in sheet metal fabrication, HVAC panel work, or mechanical assembly will find this bit appropriate for repetitive, moderate-depth holes in metallic substrates.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 13 with 0.1850-inch decimal diameter and diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0007 inches
• High-speed steel construction for general-purpose metal cutting performance
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced entry thrust
• Short screw machine length (2.1875 inches OAL) provides superior rigidity over jobber-length bits
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without adapters
• Right-hand cut, two-flute spiral design for efficient chip clearance in alloy and aluminum
• Meets ASME B94.11M standards

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit compatible with any standard drill press, CNC drilling center, or hand drill accepting a straight-cylindrical shank up to 0.1850 inches in diameter. Intended for drilling alloy steel and aluminum workpieces per Series 2120 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified trade professionals or experienced machinists familiar with metalworking drill bit procedures. Always secure the workpiece with appropriate clamping before drilling and confirm the spindle RPM is appropriate for the bit diameter and workpiece material before starting the cut. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use, as a dull or damaged bit increases heat buildup and reduces hole tolerance. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling alloy steel to extend bit life and maintain dimensional accuracy.
