Cleveland C71333 Jobber Length Drill Bit 16.5 Mm Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71333 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, it delivers solid performance across a range of production and maintenance drilling tasks. The bit measures 16.5 mm (0.6496 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 7.244 inches and a 118-degree standard point angle. The web-thinned, tapered web geometry reduces entry force and helps center the bit at startup. Licensed trades and maintenance machinists reach for this size when drilling clearance holes, through-holes, and pilot bores in light to medium fabrication work.

The C71333 fits standard drill presses, handheld power drills, and CNC drilling applications where a straight-cylindrical shank is called for. The 0.6496-inch shank diameter seats directly in keyless or keyed chucks rated for that range. With a 4.724-inch flute length and a regular spiral, it handles chip evacuation efficiently in through-hole drilling. It is suited for residential and commercial maintenance shops, mechanical contractors, and production environments that require a reliable general-purpose bit at 16.5 mm.

Installation Notes

Install and removal should be performed with the drill press or power tool fully powered off and unplugged. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a properly rated chuck before beginning any drilling operation. Follow applicable shop safety standards and wear appropriate eye protection. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
