Cleveland C72092 Jobber Length Drill Bit Letter V Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C72092 is a jobber length drill bit sized to Letter V (0.3770 inches decimal equivalent), designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Built from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers reliable performance in standard shop and field applications. The 118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of workpiece materials without requiring specialized grinding. Web thinning reduces thrust at the point, making starts cleaner and improving chip clearance at the tip. This bit is a standard tool for machinists, maintenance mechanics, and trade professionals working with hand-held or bench-mounted drilling equipment.

The C72092 fits into everyday drilling operations where a general-purpose jobber drill is required. With a 5-inch overall length and 3-5/8-inch flute length, it handles moderate-depth holes without excessive deflection. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks across a range of machine types including drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling equipment. It is part of the Cleveland 2002G series, which covers general-purpose jobber bits across a broad size range.
