Cleveland C12199 Taper Shank Drill Bit 19/32

The Cleveland C12199 is a fractional-inch taper shank drill bit sized at 19/32 inch with a decimal equivalent of .5938. It is manufactured from high speed steel and features a 118-degree point angle with a steam oxide finish. This tool is designed for machinists and maintenance technicians who require a secure, self-holding fit in taper-shank spindles or sleeves.

Replaces worn or undersized taper shank bits

Switch to this bit when an existing 19/32-inch tool shows excessive flank wear, chipping at the cutting lips, or loss of the steam oxide surface that aids chip evacuation. The jump is worth it when hole tolerance or surface finish in steel and cast iron begins to drift out of spec and regrinding the old bit no longer restores the 118-degree geometry reliably.

Fits Morse taper spindles directly

The taper shank seats directly into a matching machine spindle or drive sleeve, eliminating the need for a separate drill chuck and freeing up chuck capacity for smaller diameters. High speed steel construction handles general-purpose drilling in ferrous materials without the brittleness of carbide. Ensure the machine spindle taper is clean and undamaged so the bit self-seats and ejects cleanly.

Questions about this item

What taper-shank standard does the 19/32 drill bit require for mounting?

The bit uses a standard Morse taper shank that seats directly into a matching machine spindle or sleeve; ensure the spindle taper is clean and undamaged before insertion.

How do you correctly install the 19/32 bit, and what step is often missed?

Align the tang with the spindle slot, push the bit firmly until it seats, then tap the tang end lightly with a soft hammer to lock the taper; skipping the seating tap causes slippage under load.

When should the 19/32 high-speed-steel bit be resharpened or replaced?

Resharpen when the 118-degree point wears enough to increase thrust force or produce rough holes; replace if the cutting lips are chipped, the web is too thin, or the steam-oxide finish is worn through.
