5/32 inch split-point jobber drill bit

The Chicago-Latrobe 45610 is a 5/32 inch high-speed steel drill bit built for general-purpose metal drilling. Its 135-degree split-point tip starts on contact and reduces walking, making it suited for mechanics, fabricators and maintenance technicians who need accurate holes in steel and alloy.

Black oxide finish with 135-degree geometry

The black oxide surface treatment resists corrosion and helps retain lubricant during cutting. High-speed steel construction handles normal drilling heat without losing hardness, while the split-point geometry lowers thrust force for smoother operation in handheld or press-mounted tools.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 5/32" HSS split-point bit in a standard drill chuck and which step is often missed?

Open the chuck jaws wide enough for the .1563-inch shank, insert the bit fully, then tighten securely; the step many skip is re-checking centring after the first few seconds of run-out.

What maintenance or replacement will the 135-degree split-point bit need over time?

The high-speed steel cutting edges will dull with use; plan to resharpen or replace the bit once it no longer self-centres cleanly or produces excessive heat.
