Cleveland C09657 Jobber Drill Bit
The Cleveland C09657 is a fractional-inch jobber drill bit manufactured from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish. It features a 118-degree conventional point and a 28-degree helix angle suited for general-purpose machining. The bit offers a maximum drilling depth of five and a half inches.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
This bit suits mechanics and fabricators drilling shallow holes in mild steel, aluminium or plastic where a standard 118-degree point performs reliably. Buyers needing to drill hardened alloys, deep holes beyond five and a half inches, or larger diameter bores should look at alternative tooling.
Capacity and headroom
The one-eighth-inch diameter and five-and-a-half-inch drilling depth handle typical sheet-metal, bracket and pilot-hole tasks comfortably. The 4xD length-to-diameter ratio provides standard jobber reach. The bit runs out when material thickness exceeds the flute length or when hole diameters larger than one-eighth inch are required.

Questions about this item
What shank size must my drill chuck accept for the Cleveland C09657 bit to fit?
The bit has a 1/8 in fractional-inch shank, so any standard chuck that grips 1/8 in will hold it securely.
Will the 118-degree conventional point on this bit start cleanly in the same mild-steel jobs I use with older 118-degree bits?
Yes, the 118-degree conventional point behaves like other 118-degree jobber bits, giving the same centring feel in general-purpose machining.
How can I confirm the black-oxide finish is intact after the first few holes?
A uniform dark surface on the flutes with no bright-steel wear patches shows the black-oxide coating is still protecting the HSS.
