Cleveland Golf C14215 19/64 in Cobalt Drill Bit 135° Split Point

19/64 in Cobalt Drill Bit

This Cleveland Golf C14215 drill bit is a screw-machine accessory made from cobalt steel for drilling hard metals. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and starts holes cleanly without a centre punch. It suits maintenance technicians and metal fabricators who need a durable, right-hand cutting tool for repetitive production work. The straw-bronze finish identifies the cobalt construction and resists wear during high-speed drilling.

Check your chuck and material

Verify that your drill chuck accepts a 19/64 inch shank before ordering. The bit is designed for right-hand rotation only, so confirm your machine runs clockwise. Cobalt steel performs best in stainless steel, titanium and other tough alloys; it is not intended for wood, plastic or soft aluminium. No coolant-through channels are present, so external lubrication or peck drilling may be required for deep holes.

Fits a standard drill motor

The straight shank fits common keyed or keyless chucks on bench presses, magnetic drills or heavy-duty hand drills. Right-hand cutting direction matches the vast majority of industrial and workshop motors. The split-point geometry frees you from centre-punching each location, speeding up layout and reducing setup time on the shop floor.

Cutting performance in hard alloys

Cobalt steel maintains hardness at elevated temperatures, extending tool life when drilling work-hardening materials such as stainless steel or high-nickel alloys. The 135-degree split point self-centres and lowers thrust force, which helps prevent work-piece distortion on thin sheet metal. Decimal size 0.2969 inch provides a precise reference for tap-drill charts and fixture layouts. Right-hand cutting direction matches standard drill-press and handheld motor rotation.
