Chicago-Latrobe 53130 Taper Shank Drill

The Chicago-Latrobe 53130 is a general-purpose taper shank drill bit sized at 15/32 in with a 118-degree conventional point angle. It is manufactured from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish for durability in standard drilling applications.

For general metalworking and maintenance tasks

This drill suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need a reliable taper shank bit for conventional drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is not for operators requiring split-point geometry for self-centering or specialised coatings for high-temperature alloys.

Sustained drilling performance

The high-speed steel construction and black oxide finish provide consistent wear resistance and chip flow during extended drilling cycles. The 118-degree point angle maintains stable cutting action under continuous load without the premature dulling seen in uncoated carbon steel alternatives.

Questions about this item

Will this 15/32 in taper shank drill fit my Morse taper drill press spindle?

Yes, the 53130 has a standard taper shank that seats in a matching Morse taper socket on drill presses or lathes.

Can I run this high-speed steel bit at the same speeds I use for older carbon-steel drills?

High-speed steel tolerates higher cutting speeds; reduce feed pressure and use coolant to prevent overheating the 118-degree point.

How do I confirm the 118-degree point is cutting correctly after installation?

The drill should produce continuous, straw-coloured chips and a round hole measuring 15/32 in without wandering or excessive squeal.
