Chicago-Latrobe 49732 118 Degree Taper Length Drill Bit

General Purpose Taper Length Drill

The Chicago-Latrobe 49732 is a general-purpose taper length drill bit manufactured from high speed steel with a black oxide finish. It features a 118 degree point angle and a radial point design suitable for a range of drilling tasks. This tool is intended for professional and industrial use in maintenance and fabrication environments.

Suited for standard drilling in steel and cast iron

This bit suits machinists and maintenance technicians drilling mild steel, cast iron and similar materials where a standard 118 degree point performs well. It is not suited for buyers who need a split point for self-centering on hard surfaces or a different point angle for stainless steel and tough alloys. Users requiring a shorter jobber length or a coated high-performance bit should look at something else.

118 degree radial point geometry

The single specification that decides fit is the 118 degree radial point geometry combined with the taper length flute. This configuration determines chip clearance and penetration behaviour in the intended materials. Verify that the 1/2 inch diameter and taper length match the hole depth and machine capacity required for the job.
