Cleveland C11414 Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit Wire 14 0.182in

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C11414 is a cobalt jobber-length drill bit sized to wire gauge 14 (0.1820 inches decimal equivalent), designed for drilling ferrous metals, stainless steel, high-temperature alloys, and other hard materials that standard HSS tooling struggles to penetrate. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it carries a TiAlN coating that reduces heat buildup at the cutting edge and extends tool life in demanding production environments. The 135-degree split point starts on contact without center-punching, and the parabolic flute geometry evacuates chips aggressively throughout the cut. Overall length is 3-3/8 inches with a 2-3/16-inch flute length. Right-hand cut with a straight cylindrical shank.

This bit suits machine shops, maintenance crews, fabricators, and metalworking tradespeople drilling in tight-tolerance applications where hole quality matters. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks on benchtop drill presses, CNC machining centers, and handheld power drills. The diameter tolerance of -0.0007 to 0.0000 inches supports close-fit hole sizing within the 0.1500 to 0.2000-inch size range bracket.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt steel construction resists heat and wear in hard and abrasive workpiece materials
• TiAlN coating extends cutting edge life and reduces friction at elevated temperatures
• 135-degree split point self-starts on the workpiece surface without a center punch
• Parabolic flute profile clears chips efficiently and reduces recutting
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers thrust required to feed through material
• Diameter tolerance of -0.0007 to 0.0000 inches supports close-fit hole requirements

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard three-jaw drill chucks accepting a 0.1820-inch straight cylindrical shank; suitable for drill presses, CNC machining centers, and handheld power drills in metalworking and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck before beginning any drilling operation. Use cutting fluid or coolant appropriate for the workpiece material to maximize coating life and hole quality, even though this bit is not coolant-through. Inspect cutting edges before each use and replace the bit when point geometry shows visible wear to maintain tolerance. Follow all machine guarding and PPE requirements per OSHA and shop safety standards.
