• Vanadium steel for greater heat resistance than high-speed steel (HSS)
• Black oxide improves lubricity, resists corrosion, and resists flaking, and also helps prevent buildup of material on the tool's cutting edge
• Jobber-length, for a wide range of applications
• 118-degree conventional point angles, for general drilling applications
• Round shanks, for use with a variety of tool holders
• Made in the USA

The Cleveland 2001G, also called CLE-MAX 2001G, is a jobber length, vanadium steel drill bit has a 38-degree helix angle, with a 118-degree conventional point and black oxide surface treatment, is suitable for general-purpose drilling applications. Jobber length provides a longer reach and more rigidity than shorter lengths. The shank diameter is the same as the drill size.

While the 2001G series of drill bits can be used for drilling into most material, it is most suitable for drilling into low carbon steel, cast iron, aluminum, and copper alloys. Black oxide, also called steam oxide improves lubricity, resists corrosion, and resists flaking. It also helps prevent buildup and welding of material on the tool’s cutting edge when machining iron and steel. Spiral flutes act as a passageway for chip removal and for coolant to enter the hole. The twist of the flutes brings chips up and away from the cutting edge. The 118-degree drill point is the most common angle for general purpose drilling across a wide range of materials. The faster helix angle provides greater lifting power for chip removal than a lesser helix angle. Round shanks allow use with a variety of tool holders.

Vanadium steel is high-speed steel (HSS) with a high percentage of vanadium, for greater heat resistance and an increased ability to hold an edge over high-speed steel (HSS).They adhere to Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) 338 standards.

Drill bits are cutting tools used to make holes in a range of materials. They are used in machines such as handheld portable drills, drill presses, machining centers, and lathes. Drill bits come in a variety of types and lengths. Twist drill bits are the most common type of drill bit. They are a round, twisted shaft, end-cutting tool with two or more cutting edges and two or more flutes. Jobber drill bits are the most common length of twist bit. They offer a good comprise of length and reach to work with the widest range of materials and applications.
