Built to M42 cobalt material grade, this bit delivers increased heat and wear resistance compared to standard high-speed steel. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and cutting force at entry, making it well suited for hard and abrasive materials. A titanium nitride (TiN) coating adds surface hardness and extends tool life. The parabolic flute geometry improves chip evacuation and helps maintain cutting efficiency in deeper holes. Right-hand cut, 0.177 inch diameter, with an overall length of 3.375 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is used in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance applications where harder steels, stainless alloys, or high-strength materials are being drilled. The wire size 16 designation (0.177 inch decimal) fits standard jobber-length chuck sizes. It is a common choice for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical tradespeople when drilling through structural steel, angle iron, strut channel, or equipment housings. The straight-cylindrical shank seats in standard 3-jaw drill chucks without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt construction provides superior heat resistance for drilling hard metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces thrust and eliminates center-punching in most applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiN coating increases surface hardness and extends cutting life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParabolic flute design improves chip evacuation and reduces clogging in deep holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web configuration reduces cutting resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a jobber-length replacement drill bit for use in standard 3-jaw drill chucks accepting a 0.177 inch straight-cylindrical shank, consistent with ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 jobber-length specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall in a standard drill chuck and tighten securely with a chuck key before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling hard alloys to prevent premature bit wear, even though this bit is not coolant-through rated. Always secure workpieces firmly before drilling to prevent movement. Follow applicable shop safety practices and wear appropriate eye protection when operating rotary cutting tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1770 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42 Cobalt\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\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium Nitride (TiN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.1875 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: 0.1770 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.1900 inches\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\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2075T\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\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0007 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 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: C16628\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51697420009778,"sku":"C16628","price":27.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/72ec45573fd3d9ebc084e87d2026b024_728b0c27-2eb7-4beb-8985-274db7c2bd9d.jpg?v=1788351484","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c16628-cobalt-jobber-drill-bit-wire-size-16","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
