Cleveland C16796 135 Degree Cobalt Taper Length Drill Bit 3/8 in
Cobalt drill bit with a 135-degree split point for accurate drilling in tough materials
- TypeDrill Bits
- 135-degree split point starts holes without wandering
- Cobalt construction resists heat during deep drilling
- Wide-land parabolic flutes clear chips efficiently
- Taper length reaches into confined spaces
- 3/8-inch diameter suits common fastening tasks
Application fit
This 3/8 inch cobalt drill bit suits machinists and maintenance teams drilling deep holes in stainless steel, titanium and other hard alloys. The 135 degree split point reduces walking and lowers thrust, while the wide-land parabolic flute clears chips efficiently in taper-length reaches. It is less suited for high-volume production lines that need coated carbide tooling, or for soft materials where a general-purpose bit is more economical.
Deciding specification
The 135 degree split point on cobalt steel is the single detail that determines whether this bit matches the job; it enables self-centring starts and cooler cutting in tough metals where a standard point would overheat or wander.

Questions about this item
Does the 135-degree split point on the C16796 cobalt bit reduce heat buildup when drilling deep holes all day?
The 135-degree split point is designed for faster penetration and self-centering, which helps limit friction and heat during extended taper-length drilling in tough materials.
What tool holder or chuck size do I already need to run this 3/8-inch shank drill bit?
A standard 3/8-inch or larger drill chuck is required to grip the straight shank of this taper-length bit securely.
Will this cobalt taper-length bit work reliably in an older corded drill that only runs at one speed?
Yes, the cobalt construction and split-point geometry perform well at constant speeds, though lowering feed pressure helps prevent overheating in single-speed tools.
