Cleveland C71207 Jobber Length Drill Bit 1.35 Mm Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71207 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, the bit delivers reliable performance across a wide range of shop and field drilling tasks. It measures 1.35 mm (0.0531 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 1.575 inches and a flute length of 0.709 inches. The 118-degree standard point angle is the most common geometry for general-purpose work, requiring no special grinding equipment to resharpen. A straight-cylindrical shank allows the bit to seat securely in standard drill chucks without slipping.

The C71207 is suited for trade and shop environments where small-diameter drilling is routine, including electrical and HVAC work requiring pilot holes, sheet metal penetrations, or precision hole placement in tight spaces. The Series 2001G designation follows DIN 338 and ASME B94.11M standards, making it a recognized specification for professional tooling. This is a single-piece unit sold individually, making it practical for restocking specific sizes without purchasing a full set.

Key Features

• 1.35 mm (0.0531 inches) diameter with a diameter tolerance of -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches for tight, accurate holes
• 118-degree standard point angle suitable for general-purpose drilling across common materials
• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for corrosion resistance and reduced friction
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular helix and web-thinned, tapered web for improved chip evacuation
• 2-flute design with a 4xD flute-to-diameter ratio providing good chip clearance at small diameters
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards for jobber-length drill bits

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck that accepts a 0.0531-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

This bit is intended for use by machinists, electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and other trades requiring small-diameter drilling. Secure the straight shank firmly in a drill chuck before use and verify chuck runout on precision applications. Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling. For maximum bit life, use appropriate cutting speeds for the material being drilled and apply cutting fluid when drilling metals.
