Cleveland C08845 Taper Length Drill Bit 35/64 in Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C08845 is a taper length, high-speed steel drill bit designed for general-purpose hole-making in metal fabrication and machining applications. It carries a 35/64 inch (0.5469 inch decimal) diameter with a standard 118-degree point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust and improves chip flow at the cutting edge. The spiral flute geometry and right-hand cut make it compatible with standard drill presses, lathes, and hand-held equipment. With an overall length of 8-1/4 inches and a flute length of 4-7/8 inches, this bit provides extended reach compared to a jobber-length equivalent. It is built to ASME B94.11M and DIN 340 standards.

The C08845 is suited for drilling alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron in industrial and shop environments. The taper length design is typically chosen when additional reach is needed beyond what a standard jobber-length bit provides, such as drilling through thicker stock or accessing recessed features. The straight shank measures 0.5469 inch in diameter and seats directly into a standard drill chuck or collet without adapters. This bit is appropriate for machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworking professionals working in fabrication shops or plant maintenance settings.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction with coated finish for extended tool life in ferrous metal applications
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• Taper length body at 8-1/4 inches overall provides greater reach than jobber-length equivalents
• Spiral flute, right-hand cut configuration for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight shank at 0.5469 inch diameter fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 340 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron. Compatible with standard drill press chucks, lathe tailstocks, and hand-held drilling equipment accepting a straight shank up to 0.5469 inch in diameter.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify runout before drilling. Power down and de-energize the machine before changing bits or adjusting workpiece fixturing. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for ferrous materials to maintain edge life. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines when operating drilling equipment.
