Cle-Line C18013 Jobber Length Drill Bit 17/64 in

Drill Bit Size and Design

The Cle-Line C18013 is a jobber length drill bit sized at 17/64 in with a decimal equivalent of 0.2656. It is made from high speed steel and features a black and gold finish. The split point tip uses a 135 degree angle for accurate starts on metal surfaces. This fractional inch bit suits general workshop and automotive drilling tasks.

Practical Limits of the Standard

The jobber length design follows common fractional inch sizing for general purpose drilling depth. The split point geometry reduces walking on hard materials without a centre punch. High speed steel construction handles typical ferrous and non-ferrous metals at standard drill press or hand drill speeds. The 135 degree point angle is optimised for metal rather than wood or plastic. No coolant holes are present so deep holes require periodic withdrawal.

Compatibility Checks Before Ordering

Verify that your chuck capacity accepts a 17/64 in shank diameter. Confirm the material you plan to drill is suited to high speed steel with a 135 degree split point. Ensure your drill delivers adequate speed and torque for this diameter in metal. The bit is non coolant through so external lubrication may be needed for deeper cuts. Buyers needing larger diameters or coolant fed operation should select a different tool.
