Cleveland C16058 Taper Length Drill Bit 1/16 in Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C16058 is a taper length drill bit engineered for professionals who need reach beyond what a jobber-length bit provides. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit runs a 118-degree notched point with a parabolic flute profile and web-thinned tip for faster penetration and reduced thrust. The 1/16-inch diameter runs a 1.75-inch flute length and a 3-inch overall length, making it well suited for deep-hole drilling in tight clearance situations. The tanged shank provides positive drive in compatible chucks. This bit is sold individually and ordered in multiples of 10.

The C16058 is appropriate for drilling in alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper alloy, and other non-ferrous metals. The parabolic flute geometry improves chip evacuation in deeper bores, reducing the need for peck-drilling cycles in many applications. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics working with tighter hole depths and precision tolerances will find this bit fits standard drill press, CNC, and hand-drill setups. The right-hand cut and tanged shank are suited for conventional clockwise-rotation machines.

Key Features

• 1/16-inch (0.0625-inch) diameter with diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches for controlled hole sizing
• 118-degree notched point reduces walking on entry and lowers required thrust force
• Parabolic flute with web thinning improves chip flow in deep holes and harder materials
• Taper-length body provides extra reach compared to standard jobber drills at the same diameter
• High-speed steel construction handles the heat generated in steel and stainless steel drilling
• Bright uncoated finish allows easy visual wear inspection between uses

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill presses, CNC drilling machines, and hand-held drills accepting a 1/16-inch tanged shank. Suitable for drilling alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper alloy, and non-ferrous metals per manufacturer material application data.

Installation Notes

Secure the tanged shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation and verify runout before drilling production holes. Always reduce spindle speed and increase feed pressure appropriately when drilling stainless steel or hardened alloy steel to avoid work-hardening the bore. Power down and lock out the machine before changing bits or clearing chips. Manufactured to ASME B94.11M standards.
