Chicago-Latrobe 52438 19/32 in Drill Bit

The Chicago-Latrobe 52438 is a Silver & Deming drill bit with a 19/32 inch cutting diameter and a 1/2 inch reduced shank. It is made from high speed steel with a black oxide finish and features a 118 degree point angle for general purpose drilling in metal.

Suited for large holes in metal.

This bit suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need to drill 19/32 inch holes in steel or cast iron using a standard 1/2 inch chuck. It is not for users who require smaller diameters, different point angles, or a full-size shank that matches the cutting diameter.

19/32 inch cutting diameter

The defining specification is the 19/32 inch drill bit size combined with a 1/2 inch reduced shank. This allows the large cutting diameter to be used in drill presses or hand drills limited to a 1/2 inch chuck capacity, provided the machine has sufficient torque.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 19/32 in size or a different Silver & Deming drill?

Select the 19/32 in bit when that exact hole diameter is required; other Silver & Deming sizes cover different diameters.

What does the 118° point angle mean when drilling metal?

The 118° point is a general-purpose geometry that centres well in steel and cast iron without needing a pilot hole.

How does the 1/2 reduced shank affect compatibility?

The 1/2 reduced shank fits any 1/2 in chuck, letting you run this large bit in standard drill presses and heavy-duty hand drills.
