At 7\/16 inch (0.4375 inch) diameter, it features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking on contact and allows drilling to begin without a center punch in most setups. The flatted shank seats securely in drill chucks and reduces slippage under load. With a 4.5-inch overall length, this bit is sized for compact access in typical mechanical work. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C23854 is built for trades that drill frequently into cast iron and steel, including HVAC technicians mounting equipment, pipefitters, millwrights, and general maintenance mechanics. The mechanics-length profile keeps the bit rigid in tight spaces where a jobber-length bit would flex or chatter. Series 1875R designates this as a standard production-grade bit appropriate for bench drill presses, magnetic drills, and handheld electric drills in shop and field environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers thrust needed to start a hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction handles steel and cast iron workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlatted shank prevents chuck slippage during high-torque drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMechanics length (4.5 inches OAL) provides rigidity in confined work areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B94.11M dimensional standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard 3-jaw drill chucks accepting a 7\/16 inch flatted shank.

Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling steel to extend bit life and maintain edge integrity. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is observed. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece to prevent rotation during 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: 7\/16 inch (0.4375 inch)\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\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: 7\/16 inch (0.4375 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.94 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\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: C23854\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699639091506,"sku":"C23854","price":20.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/000759bd77ee6238a620dc7e29e4e3f4_29087af7-4746-44ec-9393-4cfdd4a53fd0.jpg?v=1788378556","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c23854-7-16-in-mechanics-drill-bit-hss-split-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
