Cleveland #6 Carbide Jobber Drill Bit
This solid-carbide jobber drill bit carries the #6 wire-gauge designation and a 118-degree split point for accurate starts. It is intended for machinists and maintenance technicians who need a rigid, wear-resistant tool for short-run drilling in abrasive or hardened materials. The bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose use where coating buildup is undesirable.
Installation and common issues
The bit fits any standard 13/64-inch chuck or collet, so no special holders are required. Because solid carbide is brittle, excessive run-out or lateral pressure can cause immediate fracture. Ensure the workpiece is rigidly clamped and use a constant feed rate; peck drilling is recommended when the 4xD depth-to-diameter ratio is approached.
Capacity and headroom
The 1-3/4-inch flute length and 3-inch overall length give a practical drilling depth near the 4xD limit defined by ASME B94.11M-1993. In softer alloys the bit maintains size well beyond that depth, but in high-strength steels or composites the cutting edges dull quickly once the recommended depth is exceeded. Coolant-fed operation is not supported on this model.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the split-point tip is drilling straight after setup?
The 118° split-point design self-centres on contact, so the bit starts without wandering; check that the hole entry is clean and the drill runs true at the 0.2040 diameter.
What comes in the box and what must I supply?
The box contains the solid-carbide jobber bit only; you will need a drill chuck that accepts a 13/64 in. shank and your own cutting fluid if the material requires it.
When should I choose the #6 wire-gauge size versus another gauge?
Select the #6 size (0.2040 in. decimal, 13/64 in. shank) when the drawing or tap chart calls for that exact diameter; other gauges in the 1727 series cover different hole sizes.
