Chicago-Latrobe 52468 Silver & Deming Drill Bit

The Chicago-Latrobe 52468 is a 118-degree Silver & Deming drill bit designed for drilling large-diameter holes in metal using a standard 1/2 inch chuck. It is built from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish for durability. This accessory suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need reduced-shank tooling for stationary or handheld drilling operations.

Verify chuck capacity

Ensure your drill press or power drill accepts a 1/2 inch reduced shank and can deliver the torque required for a 1 1/16 inch cutting diameter. The 118-degree point angle is intended for general-purpose metal cutting; confirm the workpiece material matches this geometry. This bit is not suited for machines limited to smaller shank diameters or for wood-only drilling applications.

Black oxide finish and high-speed steel construction

The black oxide surface treatment helps retain lubricant and resists corrosion during storage and use. High-speed steel construction maintains cutting hardness at elevated temperatures generated when drilling steel or cast iron. No additional coatings, coolant systems, or software are bundled with this single cutting tool.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and does the drill bit need any extra parts to fit a 1/2 inch chuck?

The box contains the 1 1/16 inch Silver & Deming drill bit with its 1/2 reduced shank already fitted. No separate adapter or sleeve is required for a standard 1/2 inch chuck.

How do I decide which version of the 52468 to pick if multiple sizes are listed?

The 52468 is a single size — 1 1/16 inch diameter with a 118 degree point angle. Choose this model only when that exact diameter and angle match the hole you need to drill.

What does the 118 degree point angle mean when the bit is used in a real machine?

The 118 degree point is a general-purpose geometry that centres quickly in steel and cast iron. In a drill press or handheld drill it produces a standard chisel-edge cut without the need for a pilot hole.
