Cleveland C12209 Taper Shank Drill Bit
The Cleveland C12209 is a new taper shank drill bit made from high speed steel with a steam oxide finish. It is built for machinists and maintenance technicians who need a fractional inch cutting tool that fits directly into a taper holder without a separate chuck. The 118 degree point angle suits general purpose drilling in steel and cast iron.
21/32 inch fractional size decides fit
The drill bit size is 21/32 inch with a decimal equivalent of .6562. This single dimension determines whether the tool matches the hole diameter required by the drawing or the tapped thread specification. Verify the exact fractional size before ordering because no other diameter is offered under this part number.
High speed steel handles routine steel work
The high speed steel body and 118 degree point comfortably handle short run drilling in mild steel, low alloy steel and cast iron where coolant is used. The steam oxide finish helps retain lubricant during the cut. The bit runs out in high volume production, abrasive alloys or hardened materials where carbide or cobalt tooling would be required.

Questions about this item
How does the 21/32 inch diameter translate when the bit is chucked into a machine?
The fractional size equals a decimal equivalent of .6562 inches, so the hole produced will measure that width in the workpiece.
What does the Morse taper shank mean for compatibility with a drill press or lathe?
The taper shank seats directly into a matching Morse taper socket, transferring torque without a separate chuck and fitting any machine with the corresponding taper size.
What physical clearance does the bit need to fit into a tool holder or spindle?
The bit has a straight flute body at the 21/32 inch cutting diameter and a tapered shank that requires a matching Morse taper bore in the spindle or sleeve.
