Cleveland C16613 Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit Wire Size 2

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C16613 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in tough materials. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, this bit delivers extended tool life and thermal resistance in demanding applications. The 135-degree split point geometry reduces walking and lowers thrust on entry, making it well suited for hard metals and stainless steel. With a parabolic flute design and web-thinned, tapered web configuration, the C16613 promotes efficient chip evacuation during deep-hole drilling. It is installed and used by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working with drill presses, lathes, and handheld power tools.

The C16613 is a wire gauge size 2 bit (0.2210 inches decimal) rated for right-hand cutting. It is suited for production and maintenance drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, hardened alloys, and stainless steel. The parabolic flute geometry makes it a reliable choice for deep-hole and interrupted-cut operations where chip clearance and bit stability matter. This bit complies with ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards, making it appropriate for precision work where dimensional tolerance control is required. Typical applications include fabrication shops, aerospace maintenance, and industrial production environments.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt steel construction for heat and wear resistance in hard materials
• TiN coating extends cutting life and reduces friction at the cutting edge
• 135-degree split point reduces drill walking and entry thrust
• Parabolic flute design promotes rapid chip evacuation in deep-hole drilling
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting resistance and heat buildup
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill presses, CNC drilling machines, and handheld power tools with chucks accommodating a 0.2210-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Conforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards for jobber-length drill bits.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified technician should verify chuck capacity and spindle speed before use. Secure the workpiece properly and confirm the chuck is fully tightened before beginning a cut. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety codes when operating drilling equipment. Do not exceed the recommended RPM range for the bit diameter and material being drilled.
