Cleveland C71204 Jobber Length Drill Bit 1.2 Mm Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71204 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, plastic, and similar materials. It measures 1.2 mm (0.0472 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 1.496 inches and a flute length of 0.630 inches. The bit is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating for basic surface protection and lubrication retention. The 118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of common drilling applications. A web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust required at the point. This bit is sold individually and is intended for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working with small-diameter hole requirements.

This drill bit is well suited for precision drilling tasks in light manufacturing, HVAC sheet metal work, electrical panel fabrication, and general mechanical maintenance. The 1.2 mm diameter makes it appropriate for pilot holes, small clearance holes, and detail work where larger bits would be unsuitable. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters. Compliant with ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards, the C71204 meets recognized dimensional specifications for jobber-length drill bits in this size range.

• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit conforming to DIN 338 and ASME B94.11M standards, suitable for use in any standard drill chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.0472-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this bit only with the drill unplugged or the tool locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank fully in the chuck jaws before operation to prevent runout. At 1.2 mm diameter, the bit is susceptible to breakage under side load or excessive feed pressure — use steady, controlled feed rates appropriate to the workpiece material. Wear appropriate eye protection when drilling.
