Chicago-Latrobe 41631 31/64 in Drill Bit

This Chicago-Latrobe 41631 is a jobber length drill bit made from high speed steel with a TiN coating. It features a 135 degree split point designed for accurate starting and reduced walking. The fractional size is 31/64 in with a decimal equivalent of .4844 in. It is a non-coolant through tool with zero coolant holes.

Suited for general heavy-duty drilling in metal

The 135 degree split point geometry suits operators who need a self-centering bit for harder materials such as stainless steel or alloy steel. The TiN coating adds wear resistance for extended life in production environments. Buyers who require coolant-through capability or a different point angle for specialised applications should look at other tooling options.

31/64 in capacity for medium-duty holes

This bit comfortably handles drilling 31/64 in diameter holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals where a jobber length is appropriate. The high speed steel construction provides adequate rigidity for standard machine or handheld use. It runs out when a project demands through-coolant delivery, a longer flute length, or a diameter outside the 31/64 in specification.

Questions about this item

Will the 31/64 in drill bit fit my standard 1/2 in drill chuck?

Yes, the 31/64 in shank is smaller than 1/2 in, so it fits a standard 1/2 in drill chuck.

Can I use this 135 degree split point bit on older steel workpieces without a pilot hole?

The 135 degree split point design is made to start on contact and reduce walking on steel, so a pilot hole is often not needed.

How do I know the TiN coating on this 41631 bit is performing correctly?

The gold-coloured TiN coating should stay intact and the bit should cut smoothly without excessive heat or blue discolouration on the steel.
