Cleveland C71327 Jobber Length Drill Bit 15 Mm Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71327 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose hole drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating for added lubricity and surface hardness, it delivers consistent performance in production and maintenance environments. The bit measures 15 mm (0.5906 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 6.654 inches and a flute length of 4.488 inches. The 118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of workpiece materials. Licensed machinists, millwrights, and skilled tradespeople are the primary users of this tool.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in fabrication shops, field service, and maintenance repair operations. The 2-flute spiral design with a right-hand cut provides efficient chip evacuation in through-hole and blind-hole applications. The straight-cylindrical shank at 0.5906 inches diameter fits standard drill chucks without adapters. Typical applications include metalwork requiring clean, accurately sized holes in the 15 mm range across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only when the drill press, hand drill, or machine spindle is fully powered down and at a complete stop. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify runout before drilling. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Follow applicable OSHA machine guarding and PPE requirements when operating drilling equipment.
