Built from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this bit measures 0.5000 inches in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned tip that reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation on entry. The shorter overall length of 3.75 inches provides added rigidity compared to jobber-length bits, making it well suited for drill press and CNC work where runout and deflection must be minimized. Licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworkers are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C04601 is used in drilling alloy steel, aluminum, and similar materials in both shop and field environments. Its straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks on bench-top drill presses, CNC machining centers, and handheld power drills. The short screw machine length is especially practical in tight clearance situations or when working inside fixtures and jigs where a longer jobber bit would be impractical. This bit ships individually and suits both low-volume repair work and higher-volume production setups that require a reliable general-purpose drill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides adequate hardness and toughness for drilling alloy steels and aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip reduces entry thrust and improves centering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine (short) length of 3.75 inches overall delivers greater rigidity and reduced deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with two regular spiral flutes for efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting oil or dry depending on workpiece material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B94.11M standards with a diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0010 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.5000-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Always power down and lock out the machine before changing bits. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck and verify there is no runout before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 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\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\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parallel Web-Thinned\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: C04601\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51710983045426,"sku":"C04601","price":22.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2472d52ef9425d600c45cd2db3e1b497.jpg?v=1788473151","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c04601-screw-machine-drill-bit-1-2-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
