Cleveland C08895 Taper Length Drill Bit 59/64 in Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C08895 is a taper length drill bit designed for precision hole-making in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Built from high-speed steel with a coated finish, it features a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation. The spiral flute geometry promotes efficient cutting with a right-hand rotation. At 10.75 inches overall length with a 6.125-inch flute, this bit provides extended reach compared to jobber-length equivalents, making it well suited for deeper holes where a jobber bit falls short. Licensed tradespeople and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

The C08895 is applied in general-purpose drilling operations across alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron workpieces. Its straight shank at 0.9219 inches diameter seats directly into standard drill chucks without an adapter. The taper length format is common in machine shop, fabrication, and maintenance environments where deeper hole penetration is needed without stepping up to a long series bit. Conformance to ASME B94.11M and DIN 340 standards makes this bit appropriate for jobs where dimensional traceability is required.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction with coated finish for extended tool life on ferrous metals
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• Spiral flute, right-hand cut for efficient chip removal during through-hole and blind-hole drilling
• Taper length body provides extended reach beyond standard jobber length
• Straight shank 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 applications. Fits any drill chuck or machine spindle accepting a 0.9219-inch straight shank. Suitable for drill press, CNC drilling, and hand-held power drill use where chuck capacity allows.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only with the machine powered down and the spindle fully stopped. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck, verifying concentricity before beginning a cut to avoid runout that can accelerate wear or cause breakage. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to maintain edge integrity, particularly in steel applications. This tool should be operated by personnel familiar with machine tool safety practices.
