Cleveland C71235 Jobber Drill Bit 3 Mm Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71235 is a jobber length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic applications. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, this bit delivers consistent performance across a range of materials in shop, field, and production environments. It measures 2.402 inches overall, with a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned tip geometry that reduces entry force and improves centering accuracy. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this bit type.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose metal removal tasks in both production and maintenance-repair-operations settings. The 3 mm diameter and jobber length format make it appropriate for light structural work, fixture building, and component fabrication. It conforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards, which ensures dimensional interchangeability with tooling systems that reference those specifications. The Series 2001G designation places this bit within a standardized product line covering the 3.00 to 4.00 mm diameter range.

Installation Notes

Install this bit into a properly sized drill chuck or collet, tightening securely before operation. Power down or de-energize the drilling equipment before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and maintain dimensional accuracy. Refer to the machine manufacturer recommendations for appropriate spindle speed based on material type and drill diameter.
