Cleveland C71323 Jobber Length Drill Bit 14 Mm Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71323 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, it delivers reliable cutting performance in standard shop and field conditions. The bit measures 14 mm (0.5512 inches) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned tip that reduces entry force and improves chip clearance. Overall length is 6.299 inches with a 4.252-inch spiral flute. Right-hand cut geometry and a straight-cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals installing mechanical equipment are the primary users of this bit.

The C71323 is suited for general-purpose drilling applications across industrial, commercial, and trade environments. Its 2-flute regular spiral design handles a wide range of base materials at moderate feed and speed rates. The oxide surface finish provides light lubricity and corrosion resistance during storage and use. The Series 2001G designation places it within a consistent product family sized from 12.50 mm to 15.00 mm, making it a direct fit where 14 mm hole sizing is required by specification or fastener clearance standards.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the drill chuck before operation and verify chuck key removal prior to starting the machine. Power down all equipment before changing or inspecting bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and maintain hole-size accuracy. Follow applicable OSHA machine-guarding and PPE requirements during all drilling operations.
