Cleveland C72073 Jobber Drill Bit Letter C 0.2420 in Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C72073 is a jobber length drill bit sized to Letter C (0.2420 inches) and manufactured from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a standard 118-degree split point with web thinning for faster penetration and reduced walking on entry. The spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation during drilling operations. With a 4-inch overall length and a straight-cylindrical shank, this bit fits standard drill chucks without adapters. It is a general-purpose tool suited for metal fabrication, maintenance, and production drilling across a wide range of base materials.

This bit is intended for general-purpose drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar materials encountered in maintenance, construction, and light manufacturing environments. The Series 2002G designation identifies it within the CLEVELAND jobber length lineup. The 2-flute regular spiral design makes it appropriate for hand-held drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling operations where a standard jobber length is specified. It conforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight-cylindrical shank fully in a keyed or keyless chuck before beginning any drilling operation. De-energize or unplug the drill and confirm the chuck is tightened before handling the workpiece. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hard metals to extend tool life and maintain dimensional accuracy. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point shows damage that cannot be corrected by proper sharpening.
