Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and finished with an oxide gold coating, it delivers heat resistance and extended tool life under high-feed drilling conditions. The bit features a 135-degree split point that starts without a center punch and reduces thrust load at entry. Flute geometry is parabolic, which improves chip evacuation in deep-hole drilling. It is sized to wire gauge No. 45, equivalent to 0.0820 inches in decimal. Machinists, tool-and-die techs, and maintenance mechanics are the primary users of this bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C16768 is suited for drilling aluminum, brass, carbon steel, cast iron, nickel alloy, plastic, stainless steel, and tool steel. The parabolic flute and web-thinned, tapered web configuration make it effective in both production and maintenance drilling scenarios where standard jobber-length bits lack the reach or chip-clearing capacity needed. It conforms to DIN 338 specification and is rated as a heavy-duty grade tool. Right-hand cut direction is standard for conventional drill press, CNC, and hand-drill setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt steel construction for high heat resistance in tough alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide gold coating reduces friction and extends cutting life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point for self-centering starts and reduced thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParabolic flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web lowers cutting resistance in deep holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to DIN 338 specification for consistent tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand drills with a straight-shank chuck.

Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for stainless steel and nickel alloy applications to manage heat buildup, as this bit does not support coolant-through delivery. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use, particularly when drilling abrasive materials like cast iron or tool steel. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine guarding requirements during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2575\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 45\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0820 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M42)\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\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parabolic\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\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\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIN 338\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy-Duty\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 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: C16768\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698278924594,"sku":"C16768","price":41.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1791b929f54760757cabbc12d014d5c1.jpg?v=1788360414","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c16768-cobalt-taper-length-drill-bit-no-45","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
