Taper shank drill bit for general use

The Chicago-Latrobe 53138 is a high-speed steel drill bit with a 19/32 inch diameter and a 118-degree conventional point. A black oxide finish helps resist wear during general-purpose drilling. The Morse taper shank seats directly into compatible machine spindles or sleeves for secure power transmission.

Suited for machine-based drilling in metal

This bit suits workshops and maintenance teams that drill ferrous and non-ferrous metals on drill presses or lathes equipped with taper sockets. Buyers who need a straight shank for hand-held drills, a split point for self-centring, or a different diameter should look at other options.

Fits taper-socket machines and frees the chuck

The taper shank locks into a matching machine spindle or sleeve, eliminating the need for a three-jaw chuck and reducing run-out. This arrangement frees up chuck capacity for other tooling and allows quick bit changes on equipment designed for Morse taper tooling.

Questions about this item

What taper-shank size must my drill press or lathe accept for the 19/32 in bit to seat properly?

The bit has a standard taper shank; your machine’s spindle or sleeve must match that taper for a secure fit.

Will the 118-degree conventional point cut cleanly in the mild steel and cast iron I usually drill with older tooling?

Yes, the 118-degree point is designed for general-purpose drilling in ferrous metals and works well with existing workshop drills.

How can I confirm the 19/32 in high-speed steel bit is cutting correctly after I install it?

Look for consistent, well-formed chips and a smooth hole diameter; excessive heat or rough walls indicate dullness or misalignment.
