Cleveland C11614 Jobber Drill Bit 17/64 in Hss 135 Deg

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C11614 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for precision hole-making in metal fabrication and general machining applications. Built from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this bit runs a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and decreases the force needed to start a cut. The 17/64-inch diameter measures 0.2656 inches decimal, with a diameter tolerance of -0.0010 to 0.0000 inches for consistent, close-tolerance results. Overall length is 4.125 inches, and the flute length is 2.875 inches. Licensed tradespeople and machinists will recognize the web-thinned, tapered web construction as a mark of a heavy-duty industrial tool.

This bit is rated for primary use on aluminum and is well suited for production drilling, maintenance shops, and field fabrication work. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks and keyed chuck setups. The two-flute spiral configuration clears chips efficiently, making it practical for both handheld and drill-press use. It meets NAS 907 Type B standards, which positions it appropriately for aerospace-adjacent and precision metalworking environments where dimensional control matters.

Key Features

• 17/64-inch (0.2656-inch decimal) diameter with tight tolerance of -0.0010 to 0.0000 inches
• 135-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers required entry force
• High-speed steel construction rated for heavy-duty drill grade applications
• Web-thinned, tapered web design improves cutting efficiency and reduces thrust
• Bright uncoated finish for easy visual inspection of cutting edge wear
• Meets NAS 907 Type B specification for precision and aerospace-adjacent work

Compatibility

Designed as a jobber-length replacement drill bit compatible with standard straight-cylindrical chuck setups; primary workpiece material rating is aluminum per manufacturer specification.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by qualified machinists or tradespeople using a keyed or keyless drill chuck capable of accepting a straight-cylindrical shank. Before changing bits, power down and fully arrest the spindle. Secure the workpiece properly before drilling to prevent movement. Follow applicable shop safety protocols and OSHA machine-guarding requirements when operating drill presses or handheld power drills.
