Cleveland Jobber Drill Bit Y Vanadium HSS
This Cleveland jobber drill bit is sized at Y with a decimal equivalent of .4040. It is made from vanadium high speed steel with a black oxide finish. The conventional point has a 118 degree angle and is non coolant through. It suits general purpose drilling in metal and plastic.
Vanadium HSS and black oxide finish
The vanadium high speed steel construction adds wear resistance and toughness compared to standard high speed steel. The black oxide finish helps reduce friction and improves chip flow during drilling. These features extend bit life in repetitive production tasks. It is not suited for coolant fed drilling systems or hardened steel applications.

Questions about this item
Will the 118-degree conventional point need re-sharpening after heavy use?
The 118-degree conventional point can be re-sharpened on a standard bench grinder or drill sharpener when it dulls, restoring the original cutting geometry.
What is the first limitation when drilling deep holes with the 0.4040-inch diameter?
The jobber-length flute limits chip evacuation in deep holes, so you must withdraw the bit frequently to clear swarf and prevent overheating.
