Built to wire size 38 (0.1015 inches diameter), it features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and cutting force on entry. The parabolic flute geometry promotes fast chip evacuation, which is critical when drilling deep holes in tough alloys. At 4.625 inches overall length with a 2.5-inch flute, this bit provides additional reach beyond a jobber-length drill. The M42 cobalt steel construction retains hardness under high heat, making it a practical choice for production or repetitive drilling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and handheld power tools where a straight shank is appropriate. It is rated for drilling aluminum, brass, carbon steel, cast iron, nickel alloy, plastic, stainless steel, and tool steel. The taper length format gives machinists and maintenance technicians extra reach without sacrificing rigidity, making it well-suited for through-holes in medium-thickness workpieces. It cuts right-hand only. A single bit is packaged per unit, consistent with individual tooling procurement for job-specific needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire size 38 (0.1015 inches) with a shank diameter of 0.1015 inches and straight shank — no chuck adapter required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces thrust and eliminates center-punch requirement on most metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParabolic flute with web thinning promotes efficient chip clearance in deep-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt steel construction maintains cutting edge integrity in high-heat, abrasive materials including stainless steel and nickel alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTapered web configuration adds core strength along the flute length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B94.11M and DIN 340 standards; referenced to DIN 338 specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated for use in aluminum, brass, carbon steel, cast iron, nickel alloy, plastic, stainless steel, and tool steel.

Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck before operating and verify chuck jaw engagement across the full shank diameter. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to extend tool life, noting this bit does not support through-coolant delivery. Inspect the cutting edges before each use — M42 cobalt bits can be resharpened but should be replaced when the split point geometry is no longer intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 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\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M42)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Brass, Carbon Steel, Cast Iron, Nickel Alloy, Plastic, Stainless Steel, Tool Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy-Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B94.11M, DIN 340\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIN 338\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2575\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: C16761\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692919685426,"sku":"C16761","price":49.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/314291eb4ffc1e9afba9865633e46c7a_f8ca6792-8ca2-47f8-9eb1-15edbedc8baf.jpg?v=1788304968","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c16761-taper-length-drill-bit-wire-38-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
