Cleveland C12214 Taper Shank Drill Bit 11/16 in 2MT Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C12214 is a taper shank drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. It measures 11/16 inch (0.6875 inch) in diameter with a 9.25-inch overall length and a 5.375-inch spiral flute length. The bit is manufactured from high-speed steel with an oxide finish and features a 118-degree standard point with web thinning for easier penetration and reduced thrust. It seats on a No. 2 Morse Taper (2MT) shank, making it compatible with drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a matching taper socket. Installation and use are performed by machinists and tool-room technicians in industrial and job-shop environments.

This bit is suited for right-hand cutting in general-purpose drilling operations across metalworking, fabrication, and machine shop applications. The regular spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation in a wide range of materials. It conforms to ASME B94.11M standards and is built to Series 2410 specifications, making it a dependable choice for production drilling where consistent hole geometry and diameter tolerance are required. Coolant-through capability is not featured on this model.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists using a standard Morse taper socket or sleeve; ensure the spindle and shank are clean and free of chips before seating. Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing the bit. A drift key and soft mallet are the standard tools for ejecting a taper shank from a spindle. Do not use the bit beyond its rated material and speed range, as overloading a high-speed steel bit can cause premature dulling or breakage.
