It carries a 1\/8 inch (0.1250 inch) diameter, a No. 1 Morse taper shank (1MT) for secure seating in taper-socketed spindles, and a 118-degree standard point angle suited for general-purpose drilling. The flute length measures 1.875 inches and the overall length (OAL) is 5.125 inches. The high-speed steel (HSS) construction with an oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and basic lubrication during cutting. This bit is right-hand cutting with a regular spiral flute pattern and a web-thinned point for reduced thrust and easier penetration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C12040 is intended for use in drill presses, lathes, milling machines, and other machine tools equipped with a No. 1 Morse taper spindle or sleeve adapter. It is appropriate for general-purpose production drilling in job shops, maintenance departments, and manufacturing environments. The small 1\/8 inch diameter makes it well suited for pilot holes, through-holes in thin stock, and precision hole locations where a straight-shank bit would lack the rigidity offered by the Morse taper connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch (0.1250 inch) diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 1 Morse taper (1MT) shank for positive seating in compatible spindles and sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose material entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction with oxide finish for wear and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned point reduces axial thrust and improves chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute with regular helix for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to ASME B94.11M standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in any machine tool spindle or drill chuck sleeve with a No. 1 Morse taper socket.

Always power down and lock out the machine before seating or drifting the bit. Use a proper drift key and drift slot to eject the taper shank — do not strike the spindle or socket directly. Inspect the taper surfaces for burrs or debris before seating to ensure full contact and prevent runout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch (0.1250 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Taper\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1MT (No. 1 Morse Taper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular Helix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2410\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B94.11M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CLEVELAND\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C12040\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51705261162802,"sku":"C12040","price":43.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7dbf11dfd75702b5ecc2df24a5258add_73c276c9-5f63-415d-8936-802c5b564dbc.jpg?v=1788427841","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c12040-taper-shank-drill-bit-1-8-in-1mt-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
