Cle-Line C22664 #43 Jobber Drill Bit 118° 0.0890

Cle-Line C22664 #43 Jobber Drill Bit

This Cle-Line C22664 is a #43 jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling tasks. It suits mechanics and fabricators who need a precise 0.0890 inch hole in metal or plastic. The high-speed steel construction with black oxide finish provides durability for repeated use in a workshop environment. Its conventional 118 degree point angle is a standard geometry for handheld and machine drilling.

Sustained drilling performance

The high-speed steel body resists heat buildup during extended drilling cycles better than carbon steel alternatives. Black oxide surface treatment helps retain cutting fluid and reduces chip welding on the flutes. The 118 degree conventional point maintains centering accuracy without walking when pressure is applied continuously. This combination allows the bit to hold size and finish through longer production runs.

Upgrade considerations

This bit replaces worn or broken #43 jobber drills in existing tool inventories. The jump is worthwhile when a dull bit causes oversized holes or excessive thrust force. It is not suited for buyers who require coolant-through capability for deep-hole drilling. Users needing a split-point geometry for self-centering on hard alloys should select a different point style.
