Cleveland Taper Shank Drill Bit 53/64
This Cleveland drill bit is designed for machinists and maintenance technicians who need a reliable taper-shank tool for general-purpose drilling. The high-speed steel construction provides durability across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It fits standard taper-shank holders for secure mounting in drill presses or lathes.
118° Conventional Point Geometry
The 118-degree conventional point angle makes this bit suitable for standard drilling tasks in steel, cast iron and similar workpiece materials. Buyers who require a split-point design for self-centering or a different angle for specialised alloys should select an alternative geometry. The black oxide finish adds lubricity and corrosion resistance during operation.

Questions about this item
What does the 53/64 inch size mean when the bit is fitted in a machine?
The 53/64 inch diameter determines the exact hole size produced in the workpiece when the bit is mounted in a compatible taper-shank holder.
How does the Morse taper interface affect what the bit can do in practice?
The taper shank seats directly into a matching machine spindle or sleeve, providing positive drive without a separate chuck and limiting use to equipment with that taper size.
