Chicago-Latrobe 52446 118° Silver & Deming Drill 23/32 in

Chicago-Latrobe 52446 Drill Bit

The Chicago-Latrobe 52446 is a Silver & Deming drill bit with a 23/32 in diameter and a 1/2 in reduced shank. It features a 118 degree point angle and is manufactured from high speed steel with a black oxide finish. This accessory is designed for use with power and pneumatic tools. It is a new item supplied by Chicago-Latrobe.

Suited for large-hole drilling in metal

This bit suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need to drill 23/32 in holes in metal using a drill with a 1/2 in chuck capacity. The reduced shank allows compatibility with smaller chucks while the high speed steel construction handles general-purpose machining tasks. Buyers who need a different diameter, a different point angle, or a bit that fits a larger chuck without a reduced shank should look at other options.

23/32 in capacity with 1/2 in shank

The 23/32 in cutting diameter handles that specific hole size in materials suited to high speed steel. The 1/2 in reduced shank provides headroom for drills with standard chuck limits while delivering the larger bore. The bit runs out when the application demands a harder substrate such as cobalt or carbide, a different point geometry, or a shank size outside the 1/2 in specification.
