11/16 in Silver & Deming Drill

The Chicago-Latrobe 52444 is a high-speed steel drill bit with an 11/16 inch cutting diameter and a 118-degree point angle. It features a 1/2 inch reduced shank to fit standard drill chucks. The black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance during metalworking tasks.

Sustained drilling in metal

High-speed steel construction maintains hardness at elevated temperatures generated during prolonged cutting. The 118-degree point angle centres the bit quickly and reduces wandering on flat surfaces. Black oxide finish helps retain lubricant and dissipate heat during continuous operation.

1/2 inch reduced shank constraint

The reduced shank limits the maximum chuck capacity required to 1/2 inch, enabling use with common portable drills. Shank diameter restricts torque transmission compared to full-size shanks. The 11/16 inch cutting diameter exceeds the shank size, so the bit cannot pass through its own pilot hole.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 11/16 in high-speed steel drill generate during extended drilling?

The black oxide finish on the 11/16 in bit helps dissipate heat while the 118-degree point angle reduces friction, keeping temperatures manageable during prolonged use in metal.

What chuck size is required to hold the 1/2 reduced shank on this 11/16 in drill bit?

The 1/2 reduced shank fits any standard 1/2 in drill chuck, so a drill with a 1/2 in capacity is needed to secure the 11/16 in bit properly.

Will the 118-degree point on this 11/16 in bit work effectively in older hand drills with lower torque?

The 118-degree point angle is a general-purpose geometry that cuts efficiently in metal with moderate torque, making it suitable for older drills when paired with the 1/2 reduced shank.
