Cleveland C71335 Jobber Drill Bit 17mm Hss Oxide

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71335 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 for added lubricity and surface protection, it features a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that improves chip clearance and reduces thrust at entry. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.6693 inches in diameter, making it compatible with standard drill chucks. At 7.244 inches overall length with a 4.724-inch flute length, it fits most benchtop and handheld drill presses used in fabrication and field service work.

This bit is suited for general-purpose applications in light manufacturing, HVAC fabrication, plumbing rough-in, and electrical panel work where consistent hole sizing in metal or structural materials is required. The 17 mm diameter corresponds to 0.6693 inches, useful for conduit knockouts, pipe clearance holes, and sheet metal penetrations. The two-flute spiral design with regular helix provides reliable chip evacuation during through-drilling. It conforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards, Series 2001G.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for improved surface hardness and lubricity

• 17 mm (0.6693 inch) diameter with straight-cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility
• Two-flute regular spiral design for consistent chip evacuation
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards
• 4xD flute-to-diameter ratio suitable for through-hole drilling in moderate-depth stock

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks accepting a 0.6693-inch straight-cylindrical shank, for use in handheld drills, drill presses, and magnetic base drills.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify runout before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hardened steel or stainless to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Always wear eye protection and secure the workpiece before operation. Reduce feed pressure as the bit exits the far side of the material to prevent grab and bit damage.
