Cleveland C71267 Jobber Length Drill Bit 6.2 Mm Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71267 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, it measures 6.2 mm (0.2440 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 3.976 inches and a flute length of 2.48 inches. The 118-degree standard point angle and web-thinned tip reduce entry force and help the bit self-center on contact. Two spiral flutes with a regular helix clear chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations. This bit is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working with hand-held drills, drill presses, and CNC equipment.

The C71267 suits general-purpose drilling tasks across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. It performs well in sheet metal fabrication, mechanical maintenance, and field service applications where a reliable, mid-range diameter bit is needed. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks without adapters, making it easy to swap in and out on common drill platforms. It is part of the Cleveland 2001G series, a line built to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards.

Key Features

• Right-hand cut; no coolant-through requirement for general-purpose use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard three-jaw chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.2440-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or trade technicians using a drill press, hand drill, or CNC spindle. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck before operation and confirm the bit runs true to avoid wandering. Follow applicable shop safety practices and wear appropriate eye protection during drilling. Reduce feed pressure when breaking through material to avoid bit deflection or workpiece damage.
