Chicago-Latrobe 44016 118 Degree Jobber Length Drill Bit 1/4 in High Speed Steel

Chicago-Latrobe 44016 Jobber Drill Bit

The Chicago-Latrobe 44016 is a jobber-length drill bit made from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish. It features a 118-degree conventional point angle and a 1/4-inch fractional size with a 0.2500 decimal equivalent. Designed for general-purpose drilling, it suits maintenance, fabrication and automotive tasks.

Suits general-purpose metal and wood drilling

This bit suits users drilling steel, cast iron, aluminium or wood in handheld or press-mounted drills. The 118-degree point centres easily without a pilot hole. Builders needing coolant-through capability, carbide tips or specialised coatings for high-temperature alloys should look at other tooling.

Black oxide finish aids chip flow

The black oxide surface treatment helps reduce friction and improves chip evacuation during drilling. It also provides a degree of corrosion protection for storage. No coolant holes or specialised coatings are included, so cutting fluid must be applied externally for demanding metalwork.
