Cleveland C09752 Taper Length Drill Bit 3/8 Inches Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C09752 is a taper length drill bit engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and trade environments. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a coated finish, this bit features a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust and improves chip clearance. The 3/8-inch straight shank diameter paired with a 9-inch spiral flute length and 12-inch overall length gives technicians extended reach into deep-hole applications where standard length bits fall short. Right-hand cut geometry and a regular spiral type make this a reliable general-purpose tool for machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance professionals working in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in alloy tool steel, carbon steel, and cast iron. The extended flute length makes it particularly useful in structural steel fabrication, mechanical maintenance, and pipe fitting scenarios where clearance depth is a factor. The straight shank accepts standard drill chucks without adapters, simplifying setup in both handheld and machine tool applications. It conforms to ASME B94.11M standards, making it appropriate for shops and field operations with documented tooling requirements.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction with coated finish for extended tool life in ferrous materials
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• 9-inch flute length and 12-inch overall length for deep-reach drilling applications
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• 3/8-inch straight shank fits standard drill chucks with no adapter required
• Meets ASME B94.11M dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in alloy tool steel, carbon steel, and cast iron. The 3/8-inch straight shank fits any standard keyed or keyless drill chuck rated for that shank diameter. Part of the Cleveland Series 950E taper length drill bit line.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly rated drill chuck and confirm chuck tightening before use. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Recommended for use with cutting fluid when drilling hardened alloy steel or cast iron to extend tool life and maintain point geometry. Inspect the cutting edges and point before each use and replace if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
