What it is and who it's for
The Cle-Line C22701 is a general-purpose jobber length drill bit sized at 3/16 inch with a 118-degree point angle. It is made from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish for durability. This fractional-inch bit suits mechanics and fabricators drilling standard metal, wood, or plastic materials.
Practical limits of the 118-degree point
The conventional 118-degree point angle provides reliable centering for general-purpose drilling across common materials. It is a non-coolant-through design with zero coolant holes, so it relies on external lubrication or peck drilling for deeper holes. The decimal equivalent is 0.1875 inches for precise identification.
The specification that decides fit
The 3/16 inch fractional size and 118-degree point angle are the critical specifications that determine whether this bit matches your application. Buyers needing a different diameter, a split point for harder alloys, or coolant-through capability for high-volume production should select another bit.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 3/16 inch size or another fractional inch option for my drilling task?
The 3/16 inch bit has a decimal equivalent of .1875 inch. Select it when your hole must match that exact fractional diameter; other sizes will produce different hole widths.
What does the 118 degree point angle mean when I use this bit in a drill?
A 118 degree conventional point centres quickly in steel and wood, giving a standard cutting action for general-purpose drilling without specialised geometry.
How does the straight shank interface limit what chucks I can use?
The straight shank fits any standard three-jaw drill chuck that accepts a .1875 inch shank, so it works with common handheld and bench drills.
