Professional Drill Bit for Precision Tasks
The Cle-Line C22645 #60 jobber drill bit is manufactured from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance. It features a conventional 118-degree point angle suitable for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood and plastic. The decimal equivalent is .0400 inches, matching wire gauge size #60. This new tool is designed for mechanics, fabricators and maintenance technicians who require accurate hole sizing.
Heat and Wear Management in Standard Use
The high-speed steel construction dissipates heat effectively during intermittent drilling operations at recommended speeds. Black oxide coating reduces friction and resists galling when cutting softer materials. With zero coolant holes, the bit relies on external lubrication or peck drilling to manage temperatures. Normal use in handheld or bench-mounted drills produces minimal vibration and consistent chip evacuation.
Behaviour During Extended Drilling Sessions
Under sustained load, the 118-degree conventional point maintains centring accuracy without walking on flat surfaces. The jobber length provides sufficient flute reach for deeper holes while retaining rigidity. Continuous high-speed drilling in hard alloys will accelerate wear on the cutting lips; periodic inspection and resharpening restore performance. The solid construction has no internal coolant passages to clog or leak.

Questions about this item
How do I install the #60 jobber drill bit and what step is often missed?
Insert the bit fully into the chuck, tighten all three jaws evenly, and verify the 118° point runs true before drilling.
What maintenance or replacement will the #60 drill bit need later?
The high-speed steel with black oxide finish dulls with use; resharpen the 118° conventional point or replace the bit when cutting performance drops.
What limit appears first during sustained drilling with the #60 bit?
The .0400 diameter and non-coolant-through design cause heat to build quickly, so cutting speed drops before the bit wears out.
