Cleveland C72113 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 13 Hss 118deg

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C72113 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in production and maintenance applications. Ground from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, the bit runs a standard 118-degree split-point geometry with a web-thinned tip that reduces thrust and improves hole entry. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.1850 inches in diameter, matching wire gauge size 13. Overall length is 3.5 inches with a flute length of 2.3125 inches, keeping the bit compact and rigid for hand-fed drilling in drill presses, hand drills, and CNC equipment. Licensed HVAC techs, plumbers, electricians, and general trade mechanics stock this size for sheet metal, structural steel, and general fabrication work.

The C72113 is suited for light to medium-duty drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and wood composites. The right-hand spiral flute clears chips efficiently on through-hole and blind-hole work. At a 4xD flute-to-diameter ratio, the bit handles standard jobber-depth holes without regrinding. It is sold individually and ordered in multiples of 12, making it practical for tool crib stocking and field kit replenishment. Series 2002G designates this as part of the standard Cleveland general-purpose jobber line, manufactured to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 tolerances.

Key Features

• Wire size 13 diameter: 0.1850 inches, tolerance -0.0007 to 0.0000 inches for consistent fit
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• High speed steel construction handles general-purpose drilling across a wide range of materials
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating buildup to mask wear; easy to inspect and resharpen
• Right-hand, 2-flute spiral design with regular spiral type for reliable chip evacuation
• Conforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards for dimensional accuracy

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with any 3-jaw drill chuck or collet system accepting a 0.1850-inch straight-cylindrical shank, including standard hand drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling equipment.

Installation Notes

A qualified machinist or trade technician should install this bit in a properly sized drill chuck, ensuring the shank is fully seated and the chuck key is removed before operation. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent bit walking or breakage. Use appropriate cutting fluid on ferrous materials to extend bit life and maintain dimensional tolerance. Inspect the bit for chipping or wear at the web and cutting edges before each use; a web-thinned bit should be resharpened or replaced when the point geometry is degraded.
