Cleveland C14632 Cobalt Screw Machine Drill Bit Size 2

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C14632 is a cobalt screw machine length drill bit sized to wire gauge number 2 (0.2210 inches decimal), designed for high-speed drilling in tough workpiece materials. Built to M42 cobalt steel specification, the bit features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and requires no center punch on most surfaces. The shortened screw machine length body improves rigidity in drill press, CNC, and turret lathe setups where standard-length bits would flex or chatter. Two spiral flutes with regular helix and web-thinned geometry promote efficient chip evacuation. This bit conforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 1897 standards and is rated for heavy-duty service.

This drill bit is suited for production machining and maintenance environments where close-tolerance holes are required in alloy steel, aluminum, and similar materials. The screw machine length format is common in automated drilling fixtures, drill presses, and CNC machining centers where short tool projection reduces deflection. It is also used in manual operations where a stiffer bit is preferred over a jobber-length equivalent. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders accepting 0.2210-inch shank diameter tooling.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for heat and wear resistance in alloy and abrasive materials
• 135-degree split point reduces thrust force and self-centers on contact
• Screw machine (stub) length body increases rigidity and reduces deflection
• Web-thinned, parallel web geometry improves chip flow and reduces cutting torque
• Conforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 1897 dimensional standards
• Right-hand cut with two regular-helix spiral flutes for consistent chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use drill bit for any drill press, CNC machining center, or turret lathe equipped with a chuck or collet accepting a 0.2210-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with drill press or CNC tooling procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Secure the straight cylindrical shank firmly in the chuck or collet to the depth recommended by the machine manufacturer to prevent pullout under load. Do not exceed the rated speed range for cobalt tooling in the workpiece material being drilled.
