Jobber Length Drill Bit for General Purpose Drilling

The Chicago-Latrobe 44236 is a jobber length drill bit made from high-speed steel for general purpose drilling tasks. It features a conventional 118 degree point angle and a bright uncoated finish. The fractional size is 9/16 in with a decimal equivalent of .5625 in. It suits tradespeople and DIY users needing a standard length bit for common materials.

Capacity and Headroom for 9/16 Inch Holes

This bit drills holes up to 9/16 in diameter in materials suited to high-speed steel. The 118 degree point provides effective centring and chip evacuation in mild steel, aluminium and plastic. The bright finish offers no coating protection, so tool life drops in abrasive alloys or high-heat applications. It lacks coolant holes, limiting deep-hole performance without external lubrication.

Build Fit for Standard Chucks and Drill Presses

The straight shank fits standard three-jaw chucks on handheld drills and drill presses. No special tooling or coolant-through spindles are required. The jobber length gives enough reach for typical through-hole depths while keeping runout manageable. Users needing coolant-fed drilling or coated bits for exotic materials must select a different tool.

Questions about this item

Will the 118-degree point on this 44236 bit work with my older drill press that runs at lower RPMs?

The 118-degree conventional point is a general-purpose geometry suited for a wide range of drilling machines, including older drill presses operating at standard speeds for high-speed steel bits.

How can I verify the 44236 bit is cutting correctly after I install it in the chuck?

A properly functioning bit will produce continuous, well-formed chips and a clean hole at the 0.5625-inch diameter without excessive heat buildup or wandering at the start of the cut.

Does the 44236 jobber-length bit come in a protective case or do I need to buy storage separately?

The item is supplied as a single drill bit; no case, pouch, or index is included, so separate storage must be purchased if required.
