Cleveland C71227 Jobber Length Drill Bit 2.35 Mm Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71227 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, plastic, and similar materials. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, it offers solid wear resistance across common shop and field applications. The bit measures 2.35 mm (0.0925 inches) in diameter with a standard 118-degree split point and a web-thinned tip that reduces thrust and improves centering on entry. Overall length is 2.087 inches. The straight-cylindrical shank seats reliably in standard drill chucks. This is a two-flute, right-hand-cut bit with a regular spiral and tapered web configuration, suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who drill small-diameter holes.

The C71227 fits into general-purpose metal drilling workflows found in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and light fabrication trades. Its 2.35 mm diameter is a common metric size used when drilling pilot holes, sheet metal penetrations, and precision clearance holes. The flute length of 1.063 inches provides adequate chip evacuation for the diameter. The bit complies with ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards, making it appropriate for shops that specify metric tooling to recognized international norms.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with rotating tool safety. Always secure the workpiece before drilling and confirm the chuck is fully tightened before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hardened metals to extend tool life. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace bits showing signs of chipping or wear.
