Chicago-Latrobe 52474 118° Silver & Deming Drill Bit 1/2 Reduced Shank

Chicago-Latrobe 52474 Drill Bit

This Chicago-Latrobe 52474 is a reduced shank drill bit designed for drilling large diameter holes with a standard 1/2 inch capacity drill chuck. It features a 118 degree point angle suitable for general purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. The bit is constructed from high speed steel with a black oxide finish for durability. It is a new power tool accessory intended for professional and workshop use.

Suited for machinists and maintenance crews

This bit suits machinists and maintenance crews who need to drill 1 5/32 inch holes using a drill press or handheld drill limited to a 1/2 inch chuck. The reduced shank design bridges the gap between large hole requirements and smaller tool capacity. It is not for buyers who need a bit with a larger shank for heavy-duty industrial holders or those requiring a split point for self-centering on hard materials.

Verify your chuck capacity and material

Before ordering, confirm your drill chuck accepts a 1/2 inch shank and that the 1 5/32 inch cutting diameter matches your hole size requirement. Check that high speed steel with black oxide finish is appropriate for the workpiece material you intend to drill. Ensure your drill press or handheld drill provides sufficient torque and speed control for a bit of this diameter.
