Cleveland C71102 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 2 Hss Oxide

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71102 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Sized to wire gauge number 2, the bit measures 0.2210 inches in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and a right-hand spiral flute configuration. The high speed steel construction with an oxide coating provides basic lubricity and surface protection during drilling. At 3.875 inches overall length with a 2.625-inch flute, the C71102 fits standard drill chucks via its straight-cylindrical shank. This bit is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working across fabrication and service applications.

The C71102 is suited for general-purpose drilling in light-to-medium duty applications on the bench or in the field. The 2-flute spiral design with a tapered web and web-thinned point reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation in through-hole and blind-hole drilling. The bit conforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards, making it appropriate for production and repair environments where dimensional consistency is required. It is sold individually and is a fit for any shop, service truck, or field kit requiring a wire-size number 2 drill.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit in the Cleveland Series 2001G, compatible with any standard drill press, hand drill, or CNC spindle accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.2210-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank firmly in the chuck before operation and verify the chuck is fully tightened to prevent slippage. Power down and de-energize any machine tool before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life. Dispose of worn or chipped bits promptly, as a damaged cutting edge increases heat buildup and reduces hole accuracy.
