Product Identity
The Cle-Line C23476 is a 5/16 inch screw machine drill bit made from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish. It features a 135 degree split point and right-hand cutting direction for general-purpose drilling tasks.
Suitability
This bit suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need a 0.3125 inch drill with a split point that reduces walking on contact. Buyers who require coolant-through capability or a different point angle should look at other options.
Critical Specification
The 135 degree split point angle is the defining specification that determines how the bit engages the workpiece and whether it matches the material hardness and drilling conditions you are working with.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 5/16 in split-point bit in my drill chuck without it walking?
Open the chuck fully, insert the 0.3125 in shank straight, and tighten evenly on all three jaws so the 135-degree split point centres itself before you apply pressure.
When will the black-oxide high-speed steel cutting edges need replacement?
Replace the bit when the split point no longer self-centres or the black oxide coating has worn away and the edges show visible rounding under magnification.
What is the first limit I will hit during sustained drilling with this right-hand bit?
Heat buildup at the 135-degree point is the first limit; without coolant-through capability the bit loses hardness quickly if chips are not cleared every few seconds.
