Cleveland C71114 Jobber Length Drill Bit Wire 14 Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71114 is a wire size 14 jobber length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating for added wear resistance and lubricity, it carries a standard 118-degree split point with web thinning for reduced thrust and improved self-centering on entry. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.1820 inches in diameter and seats securely in standard drill chucks. With an overall length of 3.375 inches and a flute length of 2.1875 inches, this bit fits the typical reach requirements for jobber-length applications in production and maintenance drilling environments. It is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and general trade professionals.

This bit is suited for light- to medium-duty drilling in residential and commercial maintenance, fabrication shops, and field service applications where wire-gauge sizing is specified. The 0.1820-inch decimal diameter places it in the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch size range, making it a common selection for clearance holes, pilot holes, and through-hole work on structural and sheet materials. The two-flute spiral configuration provides efficient chip evacuation during through-hole drilling.

Key Features

• Wire size 14 (0.1820 inches) straight-cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility

• Right-hand cut, regular spiral, two-flute design for efficient chip removal
• Jobber length at 3.375 inches OAL suits the majority of general drilling setups
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards for dimensional accuracy and performance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber length drill bit compatible with any standard keyed or keyless drill chuck accepting a 0.1820-inch straight-cylindrical shank, including benchtop drill presses, portable electric drills, and CNC drill spindles configured for straight-shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly sized drill chuck and tighten securely before operation. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation during drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and maintain dimensional tolerance. Inspect the cutting edges and point geometry before use; a damaged or worn point should be resharpened or the bit replaced before continuing work.
