Cleveland C08883 Taper Length Drill Bit 13/16 in Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C08883 is a taper length, straight-shank drill bit engineered for general-purpose drilling in metalworking and fabrication environments. Built from high-speed steel with a coated finish, this bit features a 118-degree standard point and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation at the point. The 13/16-inch diameter corresponds to a decimal equivalent of 0.8125 inches. With a 6-1/8-inch flute length and a 10-inch overall length, it provides extended reach compared to jobber-length bits, making it suited for deeper holes where a standard-length bit cannot complete the pass. Right-hand spiral flutes pull chips out of the bore during the cut.

This bit is intended for use in machine shop, maintenance, and fabrication settings where alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron are the primary workpiece materials. The taper length body gives machinists and toolmakers access to deeper features without requiring a drill extension. It is compatible with drill presses, milling machines, and similar machine-tool setups that accept a straight shank at 13/16-inch diameter. The C08883 conforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 340 standards, confirming dimensional consistency expected in production environments.

Key Features

• 6-1/8-inch spiral flute length provides extended reach beyond standard jobber-length bits
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral for efficient chip removal
• Straight shank at 13/16-inch diameter fits standard drill press and machine tool chucks
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 340 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Rated for use in alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron workpieces. Designed to fit machine tool chucks and drill press spindles accepting a 13/16-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

This bit is intended for installation and use by machinists, toolmakers, and experienced metalworking tradespeople. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify runout before initiating a cut. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole tolerance. Follow the machine manufacturer's recommended spindle speed for the workpiece material and bit diameter before starting the cut.
