Cleveland C09754 Taper Length Drill Bit 13/32 in Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C09754 is a taper length drill bit engineered for general-purpose drilling in metal and ferrous materials. 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 clearance at entry. The spiral flute design in a regular helix promotes efficient chip evacuation during deep-hole drilling. At 12 inches overall length with a 9-inch flute, it provides extended reach compared to jobber-length bits, making it well suited for structural and fabrication applications where standard bits fall short. It ships individually and conforms to ASME B94.11M standards.

This bit is intended for right-hand cutting in alloy tool steel, carbon steel, and cast iron. Its 13/32-inch straight shank seats in standard drill chucks without an adapter, and the 3-inch shank length provides solid grip. Typical users include millwrights, pipefitters, HVAC fabricators, and maintenance technicians who need a longer-reach twist drill for drilling through structural members, heavy-gauge sheet metal, or cast iron flanges where a jobber-length bit does not provide sufficient depth.

Key Features

• 13/32-inch diameter, 0.4062 decimal inch, with a tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0010 inches
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• 9-inch spiral flute length for deep-hole chip clearance
• 12-inch overall length for extended reach beyond standard jobber bits
• High-speed steel construction with coated finish for wear resistance
• Conforms to ASME B94.11M dimensional standards

Compatibility

Rated for drilling alloy tool steel, carbon steel, and cast iron. Straight shank is compatible with standard keyed and keyless drill chucks sized for 13/32-inch shanks.

Installation Notes

Install in a drill press, magnetic drill, or hand drill with a chuck rated for the 13/32-inch shank diameter. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before drilling to prevent rotation and bit breakage. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hardened alloy or cast iron to extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and remove the bit from service if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
