About Cle-line

Cle-Line's product catalogue includes a wide variety of general-purpose and heavy-duty drill bits, such as shank, end & length drill bits. The brand's drill bits are available in various sizes, styles and lengths. Cle-Line jobber drill bit sets are used with manual drilling machines and handheld power tools because they provide flexibility and absorb shock & vibration. The brand's shank high-speed steel drill bit sets are used for general-purpose drilling and maintenance applications. They feature an HSS substrate with a heavy-duty geometry for precise operations. These drill bits have black oxide finish for enhanced lubricity and wear resistance. Selected bit sizes are available with 3/8 inch reduced shanks.

Things to Consider

Cross-Reference Alternatives

Some Cle-Line MPNs cross individual references to the equivalent Westward and Benchmark Scientific model numbers. So, if you're looking for a competitor item that is either out of stock or obsolete, chances are Raptor Supplies has the equivalent Cle-Line products available.

Shipping

These Cle-Line products range from small to large sizes. They may require careful packaging as some items might get damaged while shipping. Hence, these Cle-Line items are delivered by courier shipment and air freight for minimum downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Cle-Line products with a cordless drill?

Yes, you can use these Cle-Line products with a cordless drill until the drill has enough power to handle the tool's recommended speed and feed rate. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for tool speed and feed rate to ensure optimal performance and tool life.

How do I properly store and maintain Cle-Line products?

  • Store them in a clean, dry place away from moisture and heat sources.
  • Keep them organised and protected from damage.
  • Regularly clean and lubricate the tools.
  • Inspect them for signs of wear or damage before each use.

What is the difference between high-speed steel (HSS) and cobalt drill bits?

Cobalt drill bits are made with a higher percentage of cobalt and a lower percentage of other metals compared to HSS drill bits, making them suitable for use in higher drilling temperatures and providing longer tool life. Cobalt drill bits are recommended for drilling through hard metals such as stainless steel and cast iron.
