Cleveland C04552 Drill Bit Letter Q 0.3320 in Hss 118 Pt

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C04552 is a screw machine length (stub length) drill bit sized to Letter Q, equal to 0.3320 inches in diameter. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 118-degree standard point angle and a two-flute spiral design suited for general-purpose drilling. The web-thinned construction reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation. At 3 inches overall length with a straight-cylindrical shank, this bit is designed for use in screw machine operations, drill presses, and CNC applications where a shorter, more rigid tool is required. Licensed HVAC techs, machinists, and trade mechanics install this type of tooling in production and maintenance environments.

The C04552 is suited for drilling into alloy steels and aluminum in both production and job-shop settings. Its short overall length of 3 inches and 1-11/16-inch flute length make it appropriate for applications where tool rigidity and close-tolerance hole sizing matter. The right-hand cut and regular spiral flute geometry support consistent chip clearing in typical short-run and high-cycle drilling operations.

Key Features

• Letter Q size: 0.3320 inches in diameter with tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0010 inches
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced entry thrust
• High-speed steel construction for general-purpose durability
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup concerns on softer workpiece materials
• Straight-cylindrical shank at 0.3320 inches for standard chuck compatibility
• Conforms to ASME B94.11M standards

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks and collet holders accepting a 0.3320-inch shank. Primary workpiece materials listed are alloy steel and aluminum.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics using standard three-jaw or collet-type drill chucks. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and powered down before changing tooling. Secure the shank firmly to the rated chuck capacity to prevent slippage during cutting. Follow shop safety protocols and applicable OSHA machine-guarding requirements when operating drilling equipment.
