Cleveland C08627 Taper Length Drill Bit 5/64 Inch Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C08627 is a taper length, high-speed steel drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and ferrous materials. It carries a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning applied to reduce thrust and improve centering at the start of a cut. The 5/64 inch (0.0781 inch) diameter runs on a straight shank of matching diameter and delivers a 2-inch spiral flute length within a 3-3/4 inch overall length. The right-hand cut spiral flute evacuates chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations. Manufactured to ASME B94.11M and DIN 340 standards, this bit suits production and maintenance drilling across a range of ferrous workpieces.

This bit is appropriate for use on alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron. The taper length body provides additional reach compared to a jobber-length bit, making it useful in applications where a standard-length bit cannot access the bore location. It is commonly used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working on mechanical assemblies, structural components, and general metalworking tasks. The coated finish supports tool life under repeated use in shop and field environments.

Key Features

• 5/64 inch (0.0781 inch) diameter with a diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web configuration for reduced entry thrust
• 2-inch spiral flute length in a regular spiral pattern promotes chip clearance
• 3-3/4 inch overall length provides extended reach versus jobber-length bits
• Right-hand cut, straight shank fits standard drill chucks without modification
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 340 dimensional and performance standards

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit suitable for use in alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron applications where a straight-shank drill bit is required.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by machinists or maintenance technicians using a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck on a drill press, hand drill, or milling machine. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck before use and verify concentricity to avoid runout. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole tolerance. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is present.
