Cleveland C71122 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 22 Hss Oxide

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71122 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. Built from high speed steel with an oxide finish, it delivers reliable performance in production and maintenance applications. The bit measures 3-1/8 inches overall with a 2-inch flute length and a 118-degree standard point angle. The straight-cylindrical shank and right-hand spiral flute geometry provide consistent chip evacuation and accurate entry. With a wire gauge size of 22 and a decimal diameter of 0.1570 inches, this bit fits standard drill chucks and is well suited to repetitive light-to-medium drilling tasks encountered by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians.

This bit is built for general-purpose use across residential, commercial, and industrial settings. It is a practical choice for drilling pilot holes, clearance holes, and through-holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as plastics. The oxide coating reduces friction and provides a degree of corrosion resistance during storage and use. The 2-flute spiral design with a tapered, web-thinned construction reduces entry resistance and helps maintain straightness in the cut. It is sold individually per package.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit suitable for use in standard drill chucks and drill presses that accept a 0.1570-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists and maintenance technicians using a hand drill, drill press, or CNC spindle. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify the work piece is properly clamped. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dullness is observed. Follow applicable shop safety practices and use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being drilled.
