Cleveland C14615 Screw Machine Drill Bit No.10 Cobalt

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C14615 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-speed drilling in demanding shop and field applications. Built from M42 cobalt tool steel, it handles alloy steels and aluminum with consistent performance under heat and pressure. The 135-degree split point reduces walking on entry and requires less thrust than a conventional 118-degree point. At 2.25 inches overall length, the stub-style body fits short-reach and tight-clearance drilling setups. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. This bit is suited for machinists, pipefitters, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in production or MRO environments.

The C14615 is sized to wire gauge No. 10, with a decimal diameter of 0.1935 inches, placing it in the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch range. It performs in applications requiring close-tolerance holes in alloy and aluminum workpieces. The screw machine length configuration makes it well-suited for drill presses, CNC machining centers, turret lathes, and hand-held power drills where reduced bit length improves rigidity and minimizes deflection. Fabrication shops, HVAC sheet metal work, and general industrial maintenance are typical use environments.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for heat resistance and extended tool life in alloy steels and aluminum
• 135-degree split point reduces entry walking and lowers required feed pressure
• Screw machine (stub) length of 2.25 inches increases rigidity and reduces deflection
• Web-thinned parallel web improves chip evacuation and cutting efficiency
• Right-hand spiral flutes with regular helix for consistent chip flow
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 1897 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use screw machine drill bit for standard straight-shank drill chucks accepting a 0.1935-inch shank diameter; compatible with drill presses, CNC turrets, and hand-held power drills configured for wire gauge or fractional bit sizes in the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, or maintenance trades using standard drill chuck equipment. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck key removal before powering on the machine. Use appropriate cutting fluid for alloy steel workpieces to manage heat buildup and extend tool life. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine guarding requirements when operating rotary cutting tools.
