Cleveland C71223 Jobber Length Drill Bit 2.15mm Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71223 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling applications. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, it measures 2.15 mm (0.0846 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 2.087 inches. The 118-degree standard point angle and web-thinned, tapered web design allow clean entry and reduced thrust in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With two spiral flutes and a right-hand cutting direction, it clears chips efficiently throughout the cut. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians reach for this bit when drilling pilot holes, clearance holes, or through-holes in light structural and sheet metal work.

This bit is suited for use in hand-held drills, drill presses, and CNC machining centers where a straight-cylindrical shank is compatible with the chuck. The 2001G series follows ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards, placing it in the 2.00 mm to 3.00 mm diameter range. At 1.063 inches of flute length and a 4xD flute-to-diameter ratio, it handles typical jobber-length drilling depths in sheet metal, mild steel, aluminum, and similar materials without regrinding.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for wear resistance and lubricity
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling across common metals
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces thrust and improves penetration
• Two regular spiral flutes promote efficient chip evacuation
• Right-hand cut with straight-cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard chucks
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 specifications for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with standard three-jaw chucks on hand drills, drill presses, and CNC machining centers that accept a 0.0846-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or tradespeople familiar with drill press or hand-drill operation. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and verify chuck grip on the straight-cylindrical shank before applying power. Use appropriate cutting fluid for ferrous metals to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is present.
