Cleveland C71136 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 36 Hss Oxide

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71136 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating, it carries a wire gauge size of 36, which equals 0.1065 inches in decimal diameter. The 118-degree standard point angle suits most common materials and drill press or hand-drill setups. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 1.4375-inch flute length, it fits standard 3-jaw chucks and is sized for the work envelope typical in maintenance, fabrication, and light production environments. A web-thinned, tapered web design reduces the thrust needed to start and maintain a cut.

This bit is appropriate for general-purpose hole-making tasks across residential, commercial, and industrial job sites. It is well suited for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who need a reliable small-diameter bit for wire clearance holes, pilot holes, and light material penetration. The straight-cylindrical shank seats cleanly in standard keyless or keyed chucks without modification. The 2-flute spiral configuration clears chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole drilling.

Key Features

• Wire size 36 (0.1065 inches decimal diameter) for precise small-hole work
• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for wear resistance and reduced friction
• 118-degree standard point angle for broad material compatibility
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces drilling thrust and improves bit life
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards for dimensional accuracy

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard 3-jaw keyed or keyless drill chuck accepting a 0.1065-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this bit only with the drill unplugged or the tool set to the locked-off position. Secure the shank fully into the chuck and tighten evenly before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and maintain hole tolerances. Follow applicable safety standards for personal protective equipment when operating drilling equipment.
