Cleveland C72114 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 14 Hss 118deg

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C72114 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Manufactured from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this bit features a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web design that reduces thrust and improves chip clearance at the drill point. The wire gauge size 14 corresponds to a decimal diameter of 0.1820 inches. With a two-flute regular spiral configuration and a 3-3/8-inch overall length, this bit handles typical production and maintenance drilling where consistent hole quality is required. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in standard drill chucks without adapters.

This bit is suited for maintenance technicians, machinists, and fabricators working in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. The 4xD flute-to-diameter ratio provides adequate chip evacuation in shallow to moderate-depth holes. Conforming to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards, it fits into any shop workflow calling for a wire-gauge drill in the 0.1500 to 0.2000-inch diameter range. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drill press and handheld driver use. This bit is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 12 pieces.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only with the drill powered off and unplugged or the battery pack removed. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank fully into the chuck and tighten all jaws evenly before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace or regrind bits showing chipping, dulling, or heat discoloration.
