Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and coated with titanium nitride (TiN), this bit delivers extended tool life and heat resistance compared to standard HSS offerings. It features a 15\/64 inch (0.2344 inch) diameter, a 135-degree split point for fast engagement and reduced walking, and a parabolic flute geometry that efficiently evacuates chips during drilling. A straight shank provides compatibility with standard drill chucks, and the right-hand cut configuration suits the vast majority of powered drilling equipment. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working with hard or abrasive materials will find this bit a reliable production tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is intended for drilling through a wide range of materials including aluminum, brass, carbon steel, cast iron, nickel alloy, plastic, stainless steel, and tool steel. Its taper length body and parabolic flute design make it especially well-suited for applications requiring deeper holes or faster chip clearance than a jobber-length bit provides. It fits standard drill presses, CNC machines, and handheld drill motors equipped with a straight-shank chuck. The TiN coating reduces friction and extends cutting edge life in high-cycle production or repetitive maintenance drilling scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt construction for high heat resistance and extended tool life in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTitanium nitride (TiN) coating reduces friction and increases surface hardness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces thrust force and eliminates center-punch requirement on most materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParabolic flute geometry promotes rapid, efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web configuration improves cutting efficiency at the point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to DIN 338 specification for dimensional consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated for use in aluminum, brass, carbon steel, cast iron, nickel alloy, plastic, stainless steel, and tool steel.

Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck jaws and verify concentricity before beginning a cut. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for ferrous materials to preserve coating life, even though this bit does not support through-coolant delivery. Inspect the cutting edges and TiN coating for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit when point geometry is compromised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2575T\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/64 inch (0.2344 inch)\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 Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42 Cobalt High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium Nitride (TiN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.125 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 -0.0007 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIN 338\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy-Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4 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: C16896\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51715618144562,"sku":"C16896","price":65.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/80defcc8b6e8038a40e92be226465544.jpg?v=1788516405","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c16896-taper-length-drill-bit-15-64-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
