Chicago-Latrobe 53192 118 Degree Taper Shank Drill Bit
General-purpose taper shank drill bit with 118-degree point angle in high-speed steel with black oxide finish
- Product typeDrill Bits
- 118-degree point angle enables accurate centering without a pilot hole
- High-speed steel construction resists heat during extended drilling sessions
- Black oxide finish reduces friction and improves chip evacuation
- Taper shank design provides secure self-locking grip in machine spindles
- 1 7/16 inch diameter suits large-hole applications in metal and wood
Chicago-Latrobe 53192 Taper Shank Drill Bit
This Chicago-Latrobe 53192 drill bit features a taper shank designed for direct mounting into compatible machine spindles. The 118-degree conventional point angle suits general-purpose drilling across common materials. High-speed steel construction provides the hardness and heat resistance required for metalworking tasks. A black oxide finish adds corrosion resistance and helps reduce friction during operation.
Fitting into a workshop setup
The taper shank locks into a matching Morse taper socket or sleeve, eliminating the need for a separate drill chuck. This direct mounting frees up chuck capacity for other tooling and improves concentricity for accurate hole placement. High-speed steel handles the cutting temperatures encountered in steel, cast iron and similar alloys. The black oxide surface retains lubricant to ease chip evacuation.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
Machinists and maintenance technicians drilling 1 7/16 inch holes in ferrous metals will find the geometry and material appropriate. Buyers who need a straight shank for hand-held drill chucks cannot use this taper shank design. Operations requiring split-point or parabolic-flute bits for deep-hole chip management should look elsewhere. Users drilling primarily in wood, plastic or non-ferrous alloys may prefer specialised point geometries.

Questions about this item
How deep can the 118-degree point drill before chip evacuation becomes the limiting factor?
The 118-degree conventional point and black oxide high-speed steel construction are designed for general-purpose drilling; chip clearance will depend on the material hardness and feed rate used in your application.
How much heat does the black oxide high-speed steel body generate during continuous drilling?
Black oxide finish helps reduce friction and heat buildup in high-speed steel, but actual temperature rise depends on the workpiece material, cutting speed, and coolant used during operation.
What taper shank size must my drill press spindle accept for the 53192 bit to seat properly?
The 53192 features a standard taper shank; you will need a drill press or lathe spindle with the matching Morse taper size to mount and drive the bit securely.
