Cleveland C72019 Jobber Drill Bit 19/64 in Hss 118

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C72019 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Ground from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces entry force and improves chip clearing. The two-flute spiral design with regular spiral type promotes efficient swarf evacuation during through-hole drilling. At 19/64 inches (0.2969 inches decimal) in diameter, it fits standard drill chucks and is used by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general maintenance technicians across residential and commercial jobsites.

This bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling operations where a reliable general-purpose tool is required. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in keyed or keyless chucks on handheld drills, drill presses, and milling machines. The 4-3/8 inch overall length and 3-1/16 inch flute length give sufficient reach for typical structural and panel drilling tasks without excessive deflection. Conformance to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards makes it appropriate for shop and field use where dimensional consistency is required.

Key Features

• 19/64 inch diameter (0.2969 inches decimal) with a tight tolerance of -0.0010 to 0.0000 inches
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced thrust and cleaner entry
• High speed steel construction for general-purpose durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect hole diameter accuracy
• Right-hand cut, two-flute regular spiral for reliable chip evacuation
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with standard keyed and keyless drill chucks accepting a 0.2969-inch straight-cylindrical shank, suitable for handheld power drills, drill presses, and milling machine setups requiring a Series 2002G bit.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly sized chuck and tighten securely before operation. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement during drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for metal drilling to extend bit life and maintain dimensional accuracy. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace bits showing chipping, discoloration from heat, or measurable wear beyond the stated tolerance.
