Cleveland C71006 Jobber Drill Bit 3/32 in Hss Oxide 118 Deg

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71006 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in a wide range of materials. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, this bit delivers reliable performance in metal, wood, and plastic applications. It measures 2.25 inches in overall length with a 1.25-inch flute length, and features a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for easier penetration and reduced walking at startup. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard three-jaw chucks. This bit is sold individually and is a staple in tool kits across machining, fabrication, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades.

The C71006 is suited for light-duty to medium-duty drilling tasks in shop and field environments. Its 3/32-inch diameter makes it a common choice for pilot holes, small fastener clearance holes, and precision starter holes in sheet metal or thin stock. The regular spiral flute and right-hand cut orientation are standard for conventional drill press and handheld power tool use. Trades that frequently rely on this size include electricians routing small conduit anchors, HVAC techs drilling sheet metal panels, and plumbers working with thin copper or bracket stock.

Installation Notes

Install this bit into a properly rated drill press or handheld power drill with a compatible three-jaw chuck, ensuring the shank is fully seated and the chuck is tightened before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life. Wear ANSI-rated eye protection during all drilling operations. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is present.
