Cleveland C14209 Cobalt Drill Bit 13/64 Inch 135 Point

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C14209 is a cobalt screw machine length drill bit designed for demanding metal drilling applications. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers heat resistance and edge retention when drilling hard alloys, stainless steel, and aluminum. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and decreases the thrust needed to start a hole without a center punch. A parabolic flute geometry promotes fast chip evacuation, and the web-thinned parallel web keeps cutting forces low. Licensed HVAC technicians, machinists, and maintenance trades reach for cobalt bits when carbon steel or standard HSS bits lose their edge prematurely under high-heat or interrupted-cut conditions.

The C14209 is suited to production and maintenance drilling in both shop and field environments. Its screw machine length body is shorter and stiffer than a jobber-length bit, which reduces deflection and improves hole accuracy in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and right-angle drills. Primary workpiece materials listed by the manufacturer include alloy steels and aluminum. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks and collet holders sized for 0.2031 inch shanks.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt steel construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 135-degree split point for self-centering starts and reduced thrust
• Parabolic flute profile accelerates chip removal and reduces clogging
• Web-thinned parallel web lowers cutting resistance
• Screw machine length body minimizes deflection and improves rigidity over jobber-length bits
• Meets ASME B94.11M standards with ANSI specification designation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct substitute for screw machine length cobalt drill bits in the CLEVELAND Series 2175 family, compatible with any standard chuck or collet accepting a 0.2031 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Install this bit in a properly sized chuck or collet and ensure the shank is fully seated before applying power. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent rotation or movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid for hard alloy workpieces to extend bit life and improve finish quality. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point shows signs of heat discoloration or edge breakdown.
