Cleveland C72106 Jobber Length Drill Bit Wire Size 6

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C72106 is a jobber length twist drill bit sized to wire gauge No. 6, with a decimal diameter of 0.2040 inches. Manufactured from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this bit is built for general purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. The 118-degree standard point angle and web-thinned, tapered web geometry reduce entry force and improve chip ejection. Two spiral flutes with a regular helix and a 4xD flute-to-diameter ratio move chips efficiently out of the hole. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general tradespeople keep jobber length bits like this in daily rotation for layout drilling, pilot holes, and through-hole work at the bench or on site.

This bit fits standard three-jaw keyed and keyless chucks. Its straight cylindrical shank measures 0.2040 inches in diameter and 1.25 inches in length, compatible with handheld drills, drill presses, and step-down adapters commonly used in trade service work. The 3.75-inch overall length and 2.5-inch flute length suit moderate-depth drilling tasks in sheet metal, conduit, structural steel, copper pipe fittings, and similar trade materials. It meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 dimensional standards, making it a direct drop-in alongside other Series 2002G tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with rotating tool safety. Secure the workpiece and confirm chuck tightness before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hardened steel or stainless materials to extend tool life. Inspect the cutting edges and web for wear before each use and replace the bit if chipping or rounding is observed.
