Carbide-tipped jobber drill with a 118-degree point for general-purpose metal drilling
- 118° point angle starts holes cleanly in metal
- Carbide tip resists wear for longer cutting life
- Jobber length gives standard reach for general drilling
- Bright uncoated finish suits dry cutting operations
- Four-facet point design improves centring accuracy
Cleveland 2727 Jobber Drill Bit
The Cleveland 2727 is a carbide-tipped jobber length drill bit sized at 1/8 inch with a 118 degree point angle. It suits machinists and maintenance teams who need a durable bit for general-purpose drilling in metal and plastic. The bright uncoated finish and four-facet point provide reliable centring without coolant feed.
Upgrade from standard HSS bits
This bit replaces conventional high-speed steel jobber drills when longer tool life and better wear resistance are required. The jump is worth it for repetitive holes in abrasive alloys or hardened materials where HSS dulls quickly. It is not for buyers who need coolant-through capability or coated performance in high-temperature stainless steel.
Straightforward chuck installation
The straight shank fits any standard 1/8 inch drill chuck or collet without adapters. Common issues arise when users run excessive speed or insufficient feed, causing carbide chipping at the cutting edges. Proper rigidity and peck drilling prevent premature failure in deep holes.

Questions about this item
What size chuck is required for the 1/8 in shank on the Cleveland 2727 drill bit?
The drill bit has a 1/8 in fractional shank with a 0.125 decimal equivalent, so it fits any standard drill chuck that accepts 1/8 in or 3 mm shanks.
How should the 118 degree four-facet point be engaged to avoid walking on hard metal?
Start the hole at low speed with firm axial pressure so the four-facet point centres immediately; high speed before contact lets the bright uncoated tip skate across the surface.
When does the carbide tip on this jobber-length bit need to be replaced?
Replace the bit when the carbide cutting edges show visible chipping or when drilling force increases sharply, as the bright uncoated carbide cannot be economically resharpened on site.
