Cleveland C08807 Taper Length Drill Bit 3/8 Inch Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C08807 is a taper length, high-speed steel drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal fabrication and maintenance applications. Sized at 0.3750 inches in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle, this bit delivers consistent entry geometry across a range of ferrous materials. The spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation, while the web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust requirements at the cutting edge. Right-hand cut and a straight shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks. This bit is typically installed by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and trade professionals who require reliable performance in production or field drilling work.

The C08807 is suited for drilling alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron in both shop and field environments. The extended taper length body — with a 4.25-inch flute length and 6.75-inch overall length — provides additional reach compared to a jobber-length drill, making it appropriate for deeper hole applications where a standard-length bit falls short. The coated finish provides added surface hardness for improved wear resistance during extended use.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction rated for general-purpose drilling in alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron
• 118-degree standard point angle for consistent self-starting entry
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting thrust and heat buildup
• Spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation from deep holes
• Straight shank at 0.3750 inches diameter fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 340 standards for taper length drill bits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use taper length drill bit for applications requiring drilling in alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron per Series 2510 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or qualified trade professionals using a standard drill press, hand drill, or mill with an appropriate chuck. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify spindle speed is appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter. Power down and de-energize the machine before changing bits. Do not exceed the rated material application range or use this bit on hardened steel without verifying HSS suitability for that hardness grade.
