Cleveland C72125 Jobber Drill Bit Wire Size 25 Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C72125 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in production and maintenance applications. Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it carries a 118-degree standard point angle and a two-flute regular spiral configuration. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.1495 inches in diameter, matching the wire size 25 decimal equivalent. Overall length is 3 inches with a flute length of 1.875 inches, making it well suited for hand-held drills, drill presses, and CNC turret setups where a standard jobber reach is sufficient. Installed by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and general fabrication trades.

The C72125 fits into Series 2002G and is rated for general-purpose drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where coolant-through capability is not required. Its web-thinned, tapered-web geometry reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation at the point, which benefits operators drilling in mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar workpiece materials. This bit is packaged as a single unit and is commonly stocked in shop cribs and tool vending systems that require individual replacements at the wire-size range of 0.1000 to 0.1500 inches decimal.

Key Features

• Wire size 25 diameter — 0.1495 inches decimal for precise hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry in common shop materials
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces drill thrust and improves point stability
• Bright uncoated high speed steel construction — resharpenable and compatible with standard grinding equipment
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral flute promotes consistent chip evacuation
• Meets ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks accepting a 0.1495-inch shank diameter across hand-held drills, bench drill presses, and CNC turret applications.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight-cylindrical shank fully in a drill chuck rated for the shank diameter before operation. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement during drilling. Follow applicable shop safety standards and wear appropriate eye protection. Inspect the cutting edges and web before each use and resharpen or replace when point geometry shows signs of wear.
