Cleveland C08840 33/64" HSS 118° Jobber Drill Bit

Cleveland C08840 Jobber Drill Bit

The Cleveland C08840 is a fractional-inch jobber drill bit sized at 33/64 inch with a decimal equivalent of .5156. It is made from high speed steel and finished with black oxide for corrosion resistance. This bit suits general-purpose drilling in metal, wood and plastic for maintenance and fabrication tasks.

Capacity and headroom with 33/64 inch size

The 33/64 inch diameter provides a precise hole size for specific bolt clearance or tap drill requirements. The 118 degree point angle centres quickly on contact and performs reliably in mild steel and aluminium. High speed steel construction offers good wear resistance but will dull faster than cobalt or carbide when used in hardened alloys or high-volume production.

Build quality and day-to-day implications

Black oxide finish reduces galling and helps retain cutting fluid during operation. The jobber length gives standard reach for bench drilling and portable drill use without excessive overhang. High speed steel body allows resharpening on a bench grinder to extend service life. The straight shank fits common three-jaw chucks and quick-change adapters directly.
