Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, the bit holds hardness at elevated cutting temperatures that would degrade standard HSS tooling. The 135-degree split point starts on contact without a center punch and reduces walking on curved or irregular surfaces. A parabolic flute geometry evacuates chips aggressively, keeping the cutting edge clear during deep or interrupted cuts. At 3\/8 inch diameter with a 4.25-inch flute length and 6.75-inch overall length, it reaches deeper bores than jobber-length equivalents. The straight shank seats in any standard drill chuck. Weight is 0.2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for machine shop, fabrication, maintenance, and production drilling operations. It performs reliably in both handheld drill and drill press applications where taper length reach is required. Compatible materials include aluminum, brass, carbon steel, cast iron, nickel alloy, plastic, stainless steel, and tool steel. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics are the typical end users. The split point and web-thinned, tapered web construction make it particularly effective in harder alloys and stainless where heat buildup is a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt construction retains hardness at high cutting temperatures for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point eliminates walking and reduces required feed pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParabolic flute profile improves chip evacuation in deep-hole and high-feed operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaper length body (6.75 inches OAL) provides additional reach over standard jobber bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web reduces thrust and heat generation at the cutting tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B94.11M and DIN 340 standards; specified to DIN 338\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in materials including aluminum, brass, carbon steel, cast iron, nickel alloy, plastic, stainless steel, and tool steel.

Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck with the key before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to manage heat, particularly when drilling stainless steel or nickel alloys. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or heat discoloration is observed at the tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2575\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint 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 Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3750 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\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\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M42)\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 -0.0010 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreaded Shank\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Brass, Carbon Steel, Cast Iron, Nickel Alloy, Plastic, Stainless Steel, Tool Steel\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 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: C16796\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695060746546,"sku":"C16796","price":80.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/314291eb4ffc1e9afba9865633e46c7a_f8abc54b-2e42-489e-bf4d-49a2d4b27cfa.jpg?v=1788330947","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c16796-taper-length-drill-bit-3-8-inch-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
