Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and coated with TiCN (titanium carbonitride), this bit runs at higher surface speeds and lasts longer between regrinds than standard HSS tooling. The split-point, web-thinned 135-degree point geometry reduces thrust on entry and self-centers without a pilot hole. The parabolic flute profile clears chips efficiently during deep-hole drilling. Overall length is 5 inches with a flute length of 3.625 inches. Diameter is 0.375 inches with a tolerance of -0.0010 to 0.0000 inches. This bit ships individually and is sold in minimum quantities of 5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C16969 is suited for drilling stainless steel, cast iron, and other ferrous alloys that wear down standard HSS bits prematurely. Typical applications include fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, HVAC and mechanical contractors drilling sheet metal and structural steel, and plumbers or pipefitters working with stainless fittings or cast iron pipe flanges. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks on both handheld drills and drill presses. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for all conventional drilling operations. The heavy-duty grade rating makes this appropriate for production drilling where cycle times and tool life matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt high-speed steel construction for extended tool life in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN coating reduces friction and heat buildup at the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point with web thinning for self-centering entry and reduced thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParabolic flute geometry improves chip evacuation in deep-hole drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction compatible with all conventional drilling setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in stainless steel and cast iron workpiece materials.

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify runout before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling stainless steel to manage heat and extend cutting edge life. Inspect the cutting edge for wear regularly, as cobalt bits can be resharpened with a suitable drill grinding fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\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\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.625 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 Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42 Cobalt High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard Split Point, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0010 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel, Cast Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7 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: C16969\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51717600969010,"sku":"C16969","price":296.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/08d44cb3f7074a4af50105f1116f15b7.jpg?v=1788543156","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c16969-cobalt-jobber-drill-bit-3-8-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
