Cleveland C72111 Jobber Length Drill Bit Wire 11 Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C72111 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Ground from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it carries a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned tip that reduces thrust and improves centering on entry. The two-flute spiral design with a regular helix clears chips efficiently during through-hole drilling. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.191 inches in diameter, matching the bit diameter, for positive chuck grip in standard 3-jaw keyed or keyless chucks. Overall length is 3.5 inches with a 2.3125-inch flute length. This bit is sold individually but requires a minimum order of 12 units per purchase.

The C72111 suits job-shop machinists, maintenance technicians, sheet metal workers, and general fabricators who need a reliable wire-gauge bit in the number 11 size (0.191 inches). Typical applications include drilling pilot holes, through holes, and clearance holes in mild steel, aluminum, and similar materials where a general-purpose HSS bit meets the job requirement. The 4xD flute-to-diameter ratio makes it appropriate for moderate-depth holes within standard jobber-length reach.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for general-purpose drilling across common work materials
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect hole diameter accuracy
• Right-hand cut, regular-spiral, two-flute design for efficient chip evacuation
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards; ANSI specification designation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in standard drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations accepting a 0.191-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Part of the CLEVELAND Series 2002G line.

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 lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is observed.
