Cleveland, 118° Step Drill Bit, Bright, HSS, 1874 1/8-1/2 x 1/32

The Cleveland 118° Step Drill Bit, model 1874, is crafted from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright (uncoated) surface finish, ideal for multiple drilling applications. This multi-stepped drill bit spans sizes from 1/8" to 1/2" with increments of 1/32", providing flexibility for drilling a range of hole diameters. The step drill design is specifically intended for applications where the size of the hole must increase progressively, providing precision and reducing the need for multiple drill bits.

With a total length of 3.1250" (79.38 mm), the drill bit offers a reduced shank configuration, which has a diameter of 0.2500" (6.35 mm). This makes it compatible with smaller chuck sizes while maintaining robust performance. The bit is designed with a split point and a 118° point angle, ensuring accurate and efficient drilling with minimal walking.

The step drill bit has two straight flutes that facilitate smooth chip removal and improve drilling performance. The right-hand cut direction ensures it works efficiently for most right-handed drill setups. The shank features three flats, providing a secure grip in the chuck, preventing slippage during operation.

This tool is well-suited for drilling applications in a variety of materials, providing excellent performance, precision, and ease of use.
