Cleveland C16795 Taper Length Drill Bit 23/64 in

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C16795 is a taper length cobalt drill bit designed for demanding material removal in professional machining and fabrication environments. Built to ASME B94.11M and DIN 340 standards, this M42 cobalt bit handles high-heat applications where standard HSS bits fail. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and cuts entry time on hard materials. A parabolic flute geometry promotes aggressive chip evacuation, making it well-suited for deep-hole drilling. The straight shank accepts standard drill chucks without adapters. This is a heavy-duty tool intended for skilled machinists, tool-and-die shops, and industrial maintenance technicians who regularly work with difficult alloys and hard stock.

The C16795 is rated for use across a broad range of materials including aluminum, brass, carbon steel, cast iron, nickel alloy, plastic, stainless steel, and tool steel. It fits production drilling, prototype work, and maintenance applications where bit life and dimensional accuracy matter. The 23/64 inch diameter and taper length profile make it appropriate for applications requiring a longer reach than a jobber-length bit provides without stepping up to a full aircraft-extension tool.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for superior heat resistance and extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 135-degree split point reduces thrust force and eliminates center-punch requirements on most metals
• Parabolic flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation in deep-hole drilling
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces cutting resistance and improves rigidity
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 340 standards with DIN 338 specification number
• Straight shank compatible with standard drill chucks; no adapter required

Compatibility

Compatible with materials including aluminum, brass, carbon steel, cast iron, nickel alloy, plastic, stainless steel, and tool steel. Designed as a direct-fit taper length bit for any drill press, CNC drilling center, or hand drill accepting a straight shank at the 23/64 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with proper speeds and feeds for cobalt tooling. Secure the straight shank fully in the drill chuck before operation and verify chuck key removal before powering the machine. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to maximize tool life and hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if edge integrity is compromised.
