Chicago-Latrobe 52470 Reduced Shank Drill Bit

This Chicago-Latrobe 52470 drill bit is a Silver & Deming style cutting tool designed for use with power drills that accept a 1/2 inch reduced shank. It is manufactured from high speed steel with a black oxide finish for durability in metalworking applications.

Suited for machinists drilling 1 3/32 in holes

The 118 degree point angle provides a standard cutting profile for general purpose drilling in steel and other ferrous materials. Buyers needing a larger diameter than 1 3/32 in, a different point angle for specialised alloys, or a straight shank for smaller chucks should select an alternative bit.

Fits 1/2 inch chucks and frees up larger drill

The reduced shank allows this large diameter bit to be secured in standard 1/2 inch capacity drill chucks, eliminating the need for a taper-shank machine or oversized chuck. It requires a power drill or press with sufficient torque to drive the high speed steel cutter through the workpiece.

Questions about this item

Will this 1/2 reduced shank fit the chuck on my current drill press?

The 1/2 reduced shank is designed to fit standard 1/2 inch drill chucks commonly found on drill presses and heavy-duty hand drills.

Can I use this Silver & Deming bit to enlarge an existing pilot hole in steel?

Yes, the 118 degree point angle is suited for general-purpose drilling in metal, including enlarging existing holes with the 1 3/32 inch cutting diameter.

How do I know the high-speed steel bit is cutting correctly once I start drilling?

Look for continuous, spiral-shaped chips and steady feed pressure; the black oxide finish helps retain lubricant and reduces friction during proper operation.
