Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and coated with TiN (titanium nitride) for extended tool life, this bit features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and cuts through material with less thrust than a standard 118-degree geometry. The parabolic flute design improves chip evacuation, making it well-suited for deeper holes and interrupted cuts. At 4.125 inches overall length with a 2.875-inch flute, it fits standard drill chucks and CNC machining centers alike. This drill is sold as a single unit and is aimed at machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworking tradespeople who need reliable performance in ferrous and non-ferrous stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C15657 is rated for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel. Its web-thinned, tapered-web construction reduces the chisel edge load at entry, which is particularly valuable when drilling stainless or hardened steel alloys where heat buildup and work hardening are concerns. The straight cylindrical shank with a diameter of 0.272 inches fits into standard collets and drill chucks without modification. This bit is a practical choice for production shops, job-site metalwork, and maintenance environments where a single versatile drill handles a range of material types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt steel construction for elevated heat resistance and edge retention in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiN coating reduces friction and extends service life between resharpenings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point minimizes walking and lowers thrust requirements at drill entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParabolic flute geometry promotes rapid chip evacuation in deep-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces chisel edge load for cleaner entry in tough alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards for consistent dimensional accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel workpieces.

Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation and verify runout is within acceptable limits. Apply appropriate cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel or other work-hardening materials to manage heat and preserve the cutting edge. Do not exceed the recommended feed and speed parameters for the workpiece material and bit diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: I\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2720 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parabolic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2720 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.250 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M42)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0010 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal, Stainless Steel, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2075\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B94.11M, DIN 338\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.005 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CLEVELAND\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C15657\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698857836850,"sku":"C15657","price":31.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1f17a95740d972c69b0b9fa89d8b48f0_f77979ab-56df-4f5b-91dd-ad378d86de64.jpg?v=1788368974","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c15657-cobalt-jobber-drill-bit-letter-i","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
