Chicago-Latrobe 52460 Drill Bit

This Chicago-Latrobe 52460 drill bit features a 15/16 inch cutting diameter with a 118 degree point angle. It is made from high speed steel with a black oxide finish for durability. The reduced 1/2 inch shank allows use in standard drill chucks. It suits general purpose metal and wood drilling tasks.

Sustained drilling performance

The high speed steel construction maintains hardness during extended cutting cycles. Black oxide finish helps retain lubricity and resist chip welding under continuous load. The 118 degree point provides consistent centering without frequent re-sharpening. Reduced shank design transfers torque effectively through the smaller chuck interface.

Compatibility check before ordering

Verify your drill chuck accepts a 1/2 inch shank diameter before purchase. Confirm the 15/16 inch hole size matches your project requirements exactly. Ensure the workpiece material is suitable for high speed steel cutting tools. Check that your drill delivers adequate torque for large diameter bits.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 118 degree point generate during extended drilling in steel?

The 118 degree point angle on this high speed steel bit reduces cutting resistance, which limits heat buildup during prolonged use in ferrous metals.

What chuck size is required for the 1/2 reduced shank on this 15/16 in bit?

A drill chuck with at least 1/2 in capacity is needed to grip the reduced shank securely.

Will the black oxide finish on this 52460 bit wear faster when used with older cast iron drill presses?

The black oxide coating resists corrosion and chip welding, maintaining performance on both modern and vintage drill presses.
