Cleveland C14565 Screw Machine Drill Bit 34 Cobalt

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C14565 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-throughput drilling in metal fabrication, machining, and production environments. Built from M42 cobalt steel with a coated finish, this bit handles alloy steels, aluminum, and other demanding workpiece materials without rapid edge breakdown. It carries a wire gauge size of 34, which corresponds to a decimal diameter of 0.1110 inches. The 135-degree split point geometry eliminates the need for a center punch and reduces walking on entry. At 1-7/8 inches overall length, the screw machine format delivers rigidity and stub-length stability suited to drill press and CNC applications. Licensed HVAC techs, machinists, and general trade professionals reach for this bit when short, stiff tool geometry is required.

This drill bit is suited for production drilling in sheet metal shops, machine shops, and maintenance environments where tight tolerance holes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials are common. The stub-length body limits deflection in short-travel applications. The straight-cylindrical shank accepts standard three-jaw chucks on drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-held drill motors. The two-flute regular spiral design provides effective chip evacuation in through-hole and blind-hole configurations across alloy steel and aluminum stock.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt steel construction for heat and wear resistance in hard-metal drilling
• 135-degree split point reduces thrust force and prevents bit walking on entry
• Web-thinned parallel web configuration improves chip flow and reduces torque demand
• Screw machine (stub) length provides rigid, low-deflection geometry for tight-tolerance work
• Straight-cylindrical shank at 0.1110 inches diameter fits standard chucks without adapters
• Conforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 1897 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style screw machine length drill bit for use in standard three-jaw drill chucks and compatible toolholders accepting a 0.1110-inch straight-cylindrical shank across drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-held drill motors.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this bit should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with rotary cutting tools. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is securely clamped or fixtured before beginning any drilling operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety standards. Do not exceed the rated speed range for the workpiece material and bit diameter.
