Cleveland C71044 Jobber Drill Bit 11/16 Inch Hss Oxide

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71044 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating, it delivers solid wear resistance in everyday shop and field drilling applications. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle, two spiral flutes with a regular helix, and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation. At 11/16 inches (0.6875 inches) in diameter and 7-5/8 inches overall length, it fits standard drill chucks and handles a wide range of common bore sizes encountered in trade work.

The C71044 is suited for maintenance mechanics, fabricators, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians who need a reliable general-purpose bit for metal and substrate drilling on the job. The straight cylindrical shank seats securely in keyed or keyless chucks on both corded and cordless drills and drill presses. The 5-5/8-inch flute length provides ample reach for most through-hole applications in structural and sheet stock materials. This bit is part of the Cleveland 2001G Series, a general-purpose jobber line built to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any keyed or keyless drill chuck rated for 11/16-inch straight shank tooling, including bench drill presses and handheld power drills.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only with the drill powered off and, on corded tools, unplugged or the trigger locked out. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and tighten all jaws evenly before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Wear ANSI-rated eye protection whenever operating drilling equipment.
