Cleveland C71119 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 19 Hss Oxide

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71119 is a wire gauge size 19 jobber length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. It is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating that provides basic lubricity and corrosion resistance during cutting operations. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for improved chisel edge performance and easier penetration. The spiral flute geometry promotes chip evacuation, and the straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. Overall length is 3.25 inches with a flute length of 2.125 inches and a decimal diameter of 0.1660 inch. This bit is sold individually per package.

The C71119 is suited for light to medium drilling tasks on the job site or in a shop environment. It fits standard drill presses, hand drills, and portable power tools used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors when precise wire-gauge-sized holes are required. The right-hand spiral flute design and tapered web configuration make it appropriate for through-hole and blind-hole applications in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It conforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the drill chuck and verify chuck tightness before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or secured before drilling to prevent movement. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace if the point shows signs of dulling.
