Drill Bit for Heavy-Duty Drilling

This Chicago-Latrobe 43630 jobber-length drill bit is made from high-speed steel with a TiCN coating. It has a 15/32 inch diameter and a decimal equivalent of .4688. The split-point tip is ground to 135 degrees for self-centering starts.

Suited for General Metalwork.

The bit suits mechanics and fabricators drilling steel, cast iron and similar materials where a coated high-speed steel cutter performs well. It lacks coolant-through holes, so buyers who need internal coolant delivery for deep holes or high-volume production should look at something else.

135 Degree Split Point Determines Start Accuracy

The 135 degree split-point geometry is the specification that decides fit for the task. It reduces walk on flat surfaces and centres the bit without a centre punch. If the job calls for a different point angle or a non-split tip, this drill bit will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

What is the point angle of the 15/32 in drill bit?

The 15/32 in drill bit has a 135 degree split point that reduces walking and improves centring on hard materials.

What shank diameter does the 15/32 in jobber bit require in a chuck?

The bit has a straight 15/32 in shank so the chuck must open to at least .4688 in to grip it securely.

How is the TiCN-coated high-speed steel bit installed in a drill press?

Insert the 15/32 in shank fully into the chuck, tighten all three jaws evenly, and verify the bit runs true before drilling.
