Cleveland C14653 Screw Machine Drill Bit 17/64 in Cobalt

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C14653 is a cobalt screw machine length drill bit engineered for high-performance drilling in tough workpiece materials. Built to ASME B94.11M and DIN 1897 standards, this heavy-duty bit features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and allows faster penetration without a center punch. The M42 cobalt construction provides superior heat resistance compared to standard HSS, making it well-suited for harder alloys and abrasive materials. At 2-5/8 inches overall length with a straight cylindrical shank, it fits standard drill chucks and CNC toolholders alike. The web-thinned, parallel web design reduces cutting resistance and improves chip evacuation on production runs.

This bit is used in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production machining environments where short overall length is required for use in tight spaces or turret setups. It handles alloy steels, aluminum, and other demanding materials encountered in heavy-duty drilling applications. The screw machine length profile makes it a practical choice for drill press work, CNC drilling, and hand-held industrial drill operations where rigidity and reduced deflection matter.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 135-degree split point reduces thrust and eliminates the need for center punching
• Web-thinned parallel web lowers cutting resistance and improves chip flow
• Screw machine length body provides extra rigidity and reduced deflection
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard chucks and quick-change systems
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 1897 specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use screw machine drill bit for applications requiring a 17/64 inch cobalt bit conforming to ASME B94.11M and DIN 1897 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machining professionals and maintenance technicians using standard drill chucks or CNC toolholders. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify runout before production drilling. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow shop safety protocols when drilling metal. Do not exceed the recommended feed and speed ratings for the workpiece material being drilled.
