Chicago-Latrobe 52434 17/32 in 118 Degree Silver & Deming Drill 1/2 Reduced Shank

17/32 in Silver & Deming Drill

This Chicago-Latrobe drill bit measures 17/32 inch and uses a 118-degree point angle for general-purpose drilling. The high-speed steel construction with black oxide finish resists wear during metalworking tasks. A 1/2 inch reduced shank allows the bit to fit standard drill chucks. It is sold new for workshop and maintenance use.

1/2 in reduced shank compatibility

The reduced shank fits 1/2 inch chucks on handheld drills and drill presses without needing a larger-capacity machine. High-speed steel handles steel, cast iron and non-ferrous metals in a single setup. Black oxide finish helps retain lubricant and reduces chip welding. The bit frees up larger equipment for heavier cuts.

For maintenance and fabrication shops

This bit suits technicians who need a single 17/32 inch hole size in metal and have a 1/2 inch chuck. Shops requiring cobalt or carbide tips for abrasive alloys should look elsewhere. Users needing a full range of diameters will need additional bits. The 118-degree point is not optimised for deep-hole drilling.
