Cleveland C72132 Jobber Length Drill Bit Wire 32 Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C72132 is a jobber-length drill bit sized to wire gauge #32 (0.1160 inches decimal), designed for general-purpose drilling in a wide range of materials. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit delivers consistent cutting performance across metal, wood, and plastics. The standard 118-degree point angle suits the majority of production and maintenance drilling tasks. A web-thinned, tapered-web geometry reduces thrust and improves chip ejection. It is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working with handheld or bench-mounted drilling equipment.

The C72132 is intended for general-purpose applications in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. With an overall length of 2.75 inches and a flute length of 1.625 inches, it fits standard drill chucks accepting a 0.1160-inch straight cylindrical shank. The regular spiral flute and right-hand cutting direction make it compatible with conventional drill presses, portable electric drills, and CNC drilling operations. This bit is sold individually (package quantity of 1) and is part of the Cleveland Series 2002G jobber-length line.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists and maintenance technicians using standard drill chucks — verify the chuck capacity accepts a 0.1160-inch shank before seating the bit. Secure the shank fully in the chuck jaws and confirm the bit runs true before drilling. Power down and de-energize the drilling equipment before changing bits. Follow applicable OSHA machine-guarding and PPE requirements for drilling operations.
