16 mm Jobber Drill Bit

The Chicago-Latrobe 47372 is a general-purpose jobber length drill bit designed for creating 16 mm diameter holes. It features a conventional 118-degree point angle suitable for a wide range of materials. The bit is manufactured from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish. Its decimal equivalent is 0.6299 inches.

Check Chuck Capacity and Material Compatibility

Verify that your drill chuck accommodates a 16 mm shank diameter before ordering. Confirm the workpiece material is compatible with high-speed steel tooling and a conventional 118-degree point. This bit has no coolant holes and is not designed for through-coolant applications. Ensure your setup does not require internal coolant delivery.

Suits General Workshop Drilling.

This bit suits machinists and maintenance technicians drilling standard metric holes in metal, wood, or plastic. It is not for operators requiring through-coolant capability or specialised point geometries for hard alloys. Buyers needing carbide tips or coated cutting edges for abrasive materials should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the Chicago-Latrobe 47372 16 mm drill bit and do I need to buy anything else?

The box contains the single 16 mm jobber-length drill bit made from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish. No extra components are included; it fits directly into a standard drill chuck.

Should I choose the 16 mm version or a different diameter for general-purpose metal drilling?

Select the 16 mm bit when the hole diameter must be 16 mm (decimal equivalent .6299). For other hole sizes, choose the matching diameter from the same jobber-length series.

What does the 118-degree point angle mean when I use this bit in a handheld drill?

The 118-degree conventional point centres quickly in steel and other common materials without a pilot hole, giving reliable starts in a handheld drill.
