Manufactured from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it measures 31\/64 inch (0.4844 inch) in diameter and features a 118-degree split point for accurate starting and reduced walking on flat surfaces. The overall length is 5-7\/8 inches with a 4-3\/8 inch flute length, giving it the reach needed for through-hole work in standard stock thicknesses. This is a heavy duty grade bit meeting NAS 907 Type A specifications, suitable for machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians who need consistent, repeatable hole quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C73427 is suited for drilling aluminum as its primary workpiece material, though its high speed steel construction handles a range of softer metals and plastics encountered in general shop and field work. The straight-cylindrical shank with a 1.5-inch shank length fits standard three-jaw drill chucks on bench drills, floor-standing drill presses, and handheld drill drivers. Its regular spiral, two-flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation, keeping the flutes clear during continuous cuts. This bit is a practical choice for HVAC fabricators, plumbers, electricians, and mechanical contractors who drill sheet metal, structural aluminum, or electrical enclosures on the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e31\/64 inch (0.4844 inch) diameter, heavy duty grade per NAS 907 Type A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree split point reduces thrust and improves self-centering on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with bright uncoated finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web configuration for lower cutting resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-flute regular spiral design for efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard jobber-length drill bit compatible with any drill press or handheld drill equipped with a chuck sized to accept a 0.4844-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Secure the workpiece with clamps or a vise before drilling to prevent rotation and maintain hole accuracy. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling metal to extend bit life and improve finish quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and retire the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31\/64 inch (0.4844 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-7\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4844 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral (Regular)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright \/ Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0010 to 0.0000 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAS 907 Type A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2228\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CLEVELAND\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C73427\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51711160647986,"sku":"C73427","price":26.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f364efd6aec19afa2f91a820fcff892a_d6d6466d-82e2-4746-93bc-30027dc6465b.jpg?v=1788474887","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c73427-jobber-drill-bit-31-64-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
