Chicago-Latrobe 53438 19/32 in 118° Silver & Deming Drill 1/2 Reduced Shank

Chicago-Latrobe 19/32 in drill bit

The Chicago-Latrobe 53438 is a silver and deming drill bit with a 19/32 inch diameter and a 118-degree point angle. It features a 1/2 inch reduced shank for compatibility with standard drill chucks. The bit is constructed from machining cobalt with a straw bronze finish. It is supplied new for general workshop use.

For machinists needing reduced-shank cobalt bits

This bit suits users drilling larger holes with a 1/2 inch capacity chuck. The cobalt construction handles tough materials, while the 118-degree point offers general-purpose starting. Buyers requiring a standard straight shank matching the drill diameter should look elsewhere. Those needing different point angles or coatings must select another model.

19/32 in capacity with cobalt durability

The 19/32 inch cutting diameter handles medium-to-large hole drilling in metal and other materials. Cobalt material provides heat resistance and wear life for demanding tasks. The reduced shank allows use in 1/2 inch chucks where a full-size shank would not fit. The bit reaches its limit when hole sizes exceed the 19/32 inch diameter or when shank compatibility differs.
