Cle-Line C20748 Reduced Shank Drill Bit 3/4 in 118°

Cle-Line C20748 Drill Bit

The Cle-Line C20748 is a reduced shank drill bit designed for creating 3/4 inch holes. It features a 118 degree point angle suitable for general purpose drilling in various materials. The bit is constructed from high speed steel with a black oxide finish for durability. It is intended for professionals and DIY users needing a reliable cutting tool.

Fits Standard Drill Chucks

The reduced shank design allows this large diameter bit to be used with standard drill chucks that cannot accommodate a full 3/4 inch shank. This compatibility frees up the need for a specialised large-capacity drill press or chuck for this specific hole size. The high speed steel material handles the demands of machining steel and other alloys effectively. It requires a drill with sufficient torque to drive the larger cutting diameter.

Upgrades From Smaller Bits

This bit replaces the need for step drilling or hole saws when a precise 3/4 inch hole is required in metal. The jump is worth it when accuracy and finish quality are priorities over speed in thin sheet goods. The 118 degree point is a general purpose geometry not optimised for hard materials or high-production speeds. Buyers needing split-point precision or cobalt heat resistance should select a different bit geometry.
