Chicago-Latrobe 53188 Taper Shank Drill

The Chicago-Latrobe 53188 is a general-purpose taper shank drill bit manufactured from High Speed Steel with a black oxide finish. It features a conventional 118 degree point angle designed for standard drilling tasks. This accessory fits power and pneumatic tools requiring a taper shank interface. The product is supplied new and ready for workshop use.

Suited for general workshop drilling.

This drill suits maintenance teams and fabricators who need a reliable bit for everyday metalworking in steel or cast iron. The 118 degree point offers strong centring on flat surfaces without a pilot hole. Buyers who require a split point for reduced walk, a cobalt substrate for high-temperature alloys, or a different shank style should look at other options. The black oxide finish adds lubricity and corrosion resistance during use.

118 degree conventional point angle

The single specification that decides fit is the 118 degree conventional point angle. This geometry determines how the bit engages the workpiece and the thrust required. If your application demands a flatter or steeper angle, or a self-centring split point, this drill will not meet that need. Verify the required point profile before ordering.
