Chicago-Latrobe 52432 Drill Bit

The Chicago-Latrobe 52432 is a Silver & Deming drill bit made from high-speed steel for general-purpose metal drilling. Its 118-degree point angle suits standard drilling tasks in steel, cast iron and non-ferrous materials. The black oxide finish adds wear resistance and reduces chip welding during operation. This accessory fits pneumatic and power drills with a 1/2-inch chuck capacity.

1/2-inch reduced shank requirement

The bit features a reduced shank that fits a 1/2-inch chuck while the cutting diameter is larger. Buyers must confirm their drill chuck accepts a 1/2-inch shank; machines with smaller chucks cannot hold this bit. The high-speed steel construction handles moderate heat but is not rated for hardened steel or high-temperature alloys. Users needing cobalt or carbide grades for tougher materials should select a different bit.

Questions about this item

How does the 118-degree point angle perform in a drill press?

The 118-degree point angle provides a standard cutting geometry suitable for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood and plastic on a drill press or hand drill.

What does the 1/2-inch reduced shank mean for chuck compatibility?

The reduced shank allows the 1/2-inch drill bit to fit into a 3/8-inch or larger drill chuck, expanding compatibility with smaller-capacity drills.
