Cleveland C72009 Jobber Drill Bit 9/64 in Hss 118

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C72009 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it features a 118-degree standard point angle and a right-hand spiral flute configuration. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation during cutting. At 2.875 inches overall length with a 1.75-inch flute length, this bit fits standard drill chucks and fits the typical reach requirements of bench, hand, and drill press applications. Licensed tradespeople, machinists, and general contractors rely on this Series 2002G bit for everyday production drilling.

This drill bit is suited for light to medium-duty drilling operations in residential and commercial settings. The 9/64-inch diameter and straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard 3-jaw chucks on corded drills, cordless drills, and drill presses. Its general-purpose grade and 4xD flute-to-diameter ratio make it appropriate for through-hole and blind-hole work in sheet metal, structural steel, aluminum, and similar materials. It conforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards.
