Cleveland C71329 Jobber Length Drill Bit 15.5 Mm Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71329 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, it delivers reliable performance in production and maintenance environments where consistent hole quality matters. The bit measures 15.5 mm (0.6102 inches) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and a 7.008-inch overall length. A web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust at the point and improves chip evacuation. Licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die tradespeople are the primary users of this series.

The C71329 is suited for general-purpose shop drilling operations in both production and field maintenance settings. Its straight-cylindrical shank seats in standard three-jaw drill chucks across benchtop drill presses, magnetic drills, and hand-held power drills. The 4xD flute-to-diameter ratio and regular spiral flute geometry are well matched to moderate-feed drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous stock. The part conforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards, making it a recognized option where specification-controlled tooling is required.

Installation Notes

Installation of this drill bit is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the chuck is tightened securely before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the material being drilled to extend tool life. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before initiating the cut.
