Cleveland C72148 Jobber Drill Bit No. 48 Hss 118 Degree

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C72148 is a jobber-length drill bit in wire gauge size No. 48, ground to a 0.0760-inch decimal diameter. It is machined from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish and features a standard 118-degree split-point tip with web thinning for improved penetration and reduced walking on entry. The two-flute spiral design runs in a right-hand cutting direction with a regular spiral type and a tapered web configuration. Overall length is 2.0 inches with a 1.0-inch flute length. This bit is intended for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics and is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working in field or shop environments.

The C72148 fits standard drill chucks and collet systems that accept a 0.0760-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Its compact jobber length makes it suited for benchtop drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations where tight clearances or small-diameter pilot holes are required. The bright finish is appropriate for general-purpose applications where coated bits are not required. The bit conforms to ASME B94.11M and DIN 338 standards, making it interchangeable with other bits meeting those dimensional and performance specifications.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly rated drill chuck or collet and verify the shank is fully seated before operation. Power down or lock out all drilling equipment before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid for ferrous metals to extend bit life and maintain dimensional accuracy. Follow applicable shop safety standards and any facility-specific lockout/tagout procedures.
