Cleveland C71125 Jobber Length Drill Bit Wire Size 25

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71125 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Built from high speed steel with an oxide finish, it offers solid wear resistance in everyday shop and field use. The bit is ground to wire gauge size 25, with a decimal diameter of 0.1495 inches and an overall length of 3.0 inches. A 118-degree standard point angle makes it suitable for a wide range of common materials. The 2-flute regular spiral design evacuates chips efficiently, and the web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces thrust during entry. Licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who require precise small-diameter drilling will find this bit ready for consistent production use.

This bit fits standard drill chucks and is appropriate for hand-held drills, drill presses, and portable magnetic-base units. At 0.1495 inches diameter, it falls in the 0.1000 to 0.1500 inch size range commonly used for pilot holes, clearance holes, and tapping pre-drill operations across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical rough-in work. The 1.125-inch shank length provides secure chuck engagement. The right-hand cut is standard for conventional clockwise-rotation drilling equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and trade professionals using standard drill equipment. Secure the bit fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck runout is within acceptable limits for precision hole work. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Follow OSHA and applicable shop safety guidelines when operating rotary cutting tools.
