With a 15\/32 inch (0.4688 inch decimal) diameter and a 118-degree standard point angle, this bit delivers clean entry and consistent hole geometry across a range of workpiece materials. The stub-length body reduces deflection compared to jobber-length bits, making it a practical choice for production drilling in tight setups. It features a right-hand spiral flute configuration and a straight-cylindrical shank for use in standard drill chucks and tool holders. Web-thinned geometry reduces thrust requirements at the start of the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for metalworking applications in shop, maintenance, and light manufacturing environments. Primary workpiece materials include alloy steel and aluminum. The short overall length of 3-5\/8 inches and 2-1\/8 inch flute length make it well-matched to drill press, mill, or hand-drill setups where reduced overhang is preferred. It is commonly used by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians who require a reliable general-purpose bit for repetitive hole drilling in metal components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e15\/32 inch diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0010 inches for consistent hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned geometry for reduced entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction rated for general-purpose cutting in alloy steel and aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine (stub) length at 3-5\/8 inches OAL minimizes deflection in close-clearance setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank at 0.4688 inches diameter fits standard chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish; no coolant-through feature; suitable for dry or flooded cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit conforming to ASME B94.11M and ANSI specifications, compatible with standard drill chucks and tool holders accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 15\/32 inch diameter range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is installed and serviced by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trades professionals using standard drill press, lathe, or hand-drill equipment. Before changing bits, ensure the machine is fully powered down and the chuck is secured before tightening. Use appropriate cutting fluid for alloy steel workpieces to extend tool life. Inspect the cutting edges and web condition before each use; a worn or chipped point will increase thrust and reduce hole quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/32 inches (0.4688 inches decimal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4688 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parallel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Short (Screw Machine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0010 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2120\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\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: C04596\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692170838322,"sku":"C04596","price":22.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d6c442c51a40548c2bf5c93b3ae9fef8.jpg?v=1788294040","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c04596-screw-machine-drill-bit-15-32-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
