Cleveland C71019 Jobber Length Drill Bit 19/64 in Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71019 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, this bit handles production and maintenance drilling where consistent hole quality matters. It features a 118-degree standard point angle, a web-thinned and tapered web configuration for easier starting and reduced thrust, and a two-flute regular spiral design that clears chips efficiently. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. This bit is part of the Cleveland 2001G series, a widely used general-purpose line among machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians.

The C71019 is suited for use in drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drill applications where a 19/64-inch diameter hole is required. Typical applications include drilling pilot holes in mild steel plate, pipe hangers, structural brackets, and general fabrication work. The oxide finish provides light corrosion resistance and reduces galling during dry cutting. Right-hand cut geometry works with standard right-hand rotation on all common drilling equipment. This bit ships individually and is sold in minimum order quantities appropriate for shop stock.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, pipefitters, or maintenance technicians using standard drilling equipment. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the chuck is tightened before operation. Apply cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges before use and replace any bit showing chipping or heat discoloration.
