Built to ASME B94.11M standards, it features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking on contact and allows drilling without a center punch on most surfaces. The flatted shank provides a positive grip in standard drill chucks, preventing slippage under torque. At 0.3594 inches (23\/64 inch) in diameter with a right-hand spiral flute, this bit is suited for licensed tradespeople and shop mechanics working with steel and cast iron substrates on a daily basis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit belongs to the CLEVELAND 1875R Series and is configured for mechanics-length drilling, meaning the shorter overall length provides increased rigidity compared to jobber-length bits. That rigidity reduces deflection in tight-access drilling scenarios common in HVAC equipment frames, electrical panel knockouts, and plumbing support bracketing. The right-hand cut and spiral flute geometry promote efficient chip evacuation when drilling ferrous materials. Primary workpiece materials listed by the manufacturer are cast iron and steel, making this bit applicable across a wide range of trade service environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces bit walking and eliminates the need for a center punch on most metal surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and heat resistance for continuous drilling in steel and cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlatted shank prevents rotation in chuck jaws under heavy drilling torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMechanics-length body (4.19 inches overall) delivers increased rigidity and accuracy in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute promotes consistent chip evacuation during ferrous drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B94.11M dimensional standards for drill bit geometry and tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose mechanics-length drill bit compatible with standard 3-jaw drill chucks that accept a 0.3594-inch flatted shank.

Secure the flatted shank firmly in the chuck before operation and verify chuck key removal prior to starting the drill. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel or cast iron to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Wear eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23\/64 inch (0.3594 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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flatted\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3594 inches (9.13 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.19 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.69 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mechanics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1875R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B94.11M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: C23849\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51693466222898,"sku":"C23849","price":16.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/000759bd77ee6238a620dc7e29e4e3f4_7f1b1b4f-8eaf-4e8a-aa15-48398940894e.jpg?v=1788312790","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c23849-mechanics-drill-bit-23-64-in-hss-split-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
