Cleveland C71337 Jobber Length Drill Bit 17.5 Mm Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C71337 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 for added wear resistance, this bit measures 17.5 mm (0.6890 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 7.52 inches and a flute length of 5.118 inches. The 118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of workpiece materials and is a common choice for production and maintenance drilling tasks. Web thinning reduces thrust requirements at the tip, improving penetration and reducing walking on entry. This bit is sized for use in drill presses, lathes, and hand-held power drills with an appropriate chuck capacity.

The C71337 fits standard jobber-length drill applications in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial settings. Its straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in keyed or keyless chucks rated for the 0.6890-inch shank diameter. The Series 2001G design follows ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 specifications, making it a recognized standard in both domestic and international tooling programs. It is suited for right-hand cutting operations across general-purpose drilling setups.

Key Features

• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose material compatibility
• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for improved surface hardness and corrosion resistance
• Web-thinned, tapered-web design reduces entry thrust and improves chip clearance
• Two-flute spiral configuration with regular spiral type for efficient chip evacuation
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards for jobber-length twist drills

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style general-purpose jobber-length drill bit conforming to DIN 338 and ASME B94.11M specifications, compatible with any drill press, lathe tailstock, or power drill equipped with a chuck that accepts a 0.6890-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician familiar with drill press or power-tool operation. Ensure the chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is properly secured before beginning any drilling operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant for metal applications to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection when operating rotating cutting tools.
