Chicago-Latrobe 52472 118 Degree Drill

The Chicago-Latrobe 52472 is a Silver & Deming drill bit with a 118 degree point angle. It features a 1/2 reduced shank for use in chucks with smaller capacity. The bit is made from high speed steel with a black oxide finish. It is designed for general-purpose drilling in metal.

Machinists needing a large-diameter bit

This drill suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need to drill 1 1/8 inch holes using a drill press or large hand drill with a 1/2 inch chuck. It is not for users who require a split-point tip for self-centering without a centre punch. Buyers needing a bit for deep-hole drilling or very hard alloys should evaluate other geometries.

118 degree point angle

The 118 degree point angle is the key specification that determines how this bit cuts. It provides a conventional cutting action suitable for a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The high speed steel body offers a balance of hardness and toughness for general workshop use. Verify the point angle matches your application requirements before purchase.
