Cleveland C71295 9mm Hss Jobber Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71295 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, it delivers reliable performance in standard production and maintenance environments. The bit measures 9 mm (0.3543 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 4.921 inches and a flute length of 3.189 inches. A 118-degree standard point angle and web-thinned tip reduce entry force and improve centering on most common workpiece materials. Licensed machinists, maintenance mechanics, and trade professionals typically use this bit in standard drill presses, hand drills, and CNC equipment.

The C71295 is suited for general-purpose drilling tasks in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Its straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters. The right-hand spiral flute configuration efficiently clears chips during through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations. This bit is a practical choice for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades when drilling through sheet metal, brackets, structural framing, and enclosures during installation and service work.
