Cleveland C16752 Taper Length Drill Bit Size 29 Cobalt

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C16752 is a Series 2575 taper length drill bit engineered for heavy-duty metal-cutting applications. It is sized to wire gauge 29 (0.1360 inches decimal) and built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, which provides superior heat and wear resistance compared to standard HSS tooling. The 135-degree split point reduces walking on entry and lowers thrust requirements, while the parabolic flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation. Web thinning at the tip further reduces cutting resistance. This bit is well-suited for production drilling in demanding materials and is installed by machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, and maintenance professionals.

The C16752 is designed for drilling aluminum, brass, carbon steel, cast iron, nickel alloy, plastic, stainless steel, and tool steel. Its taper length body gives added reach over jobber-length bits, making it practical for through-hole drilling in thicker workpieces or where standard-length bits fall short. The straight shank is compatible with standard drill chucks across benchtop drill presses, CNC drilling centers, and handheld drill motors. The right-hand cut configuration is standard for conventional drilling operations.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction provides elevated heat and abrasion resistance for extended tool life in hard materials
• 135-degree split point reduces thrust and minimizes bit walking on entry without a center punch
• Parabolic flute geometry improves chip clearing in deep holes and gummy materials
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers cutting force requirements
• Taper length body (3.0 inches flute, 5-3/8 inches OAL) provides extended reach over standard jobber bits
• Conforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 340 standards with a diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0007 inches

Compatibility

Rated for use in aluminum, brass, carbon steel, cast iron, nickel alloy, plastic, stainless steel, and tool steel. Straight shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks. Conforms to Series 2575 specifications per ASME B94.11M and DIN 340.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight shank firmly in a calibrated drill chuck before use and verify concentricity to minimize runout. Power down and de-energize the machine tool before bit changes or chuck adjustments. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material, particularly when drilling stainless steel, nickel alloy, or tool steel, to manage heat buildup. Follow applicable shop safety protocols and machine-specific operating procedures.
