Precision cobalt bit for hard-metal drilling

The Chicago-Latrobe 54052 is a 5/32 inch jobber-length drill bit made from cobalt steel with a TiN coating. It is built for mechanics and fabricators who need to cut stainless steel, titanium or other high-strength alloys without premature wear.

Standard shank fits common chucks.

The fractional-inch shank seats directly in any 3/8 inch or larger drill chuck. The 135-degree split point centres the cut instantly, reducing the force needed to start the hole and minimising the risk of the bit skating on hard surfaces.

135-degree split point decides suitability

The aggressive point angle and split geometry are the single spec that determines whether this bit will penetrate work-hardened materials cleanly. Buyers drilling only soft wood, plastic or mild steel will not benefit from the cobalt construction.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 135-degree split point is cutting correctly after I start drilling?

A clean entry without wandering and consistent chip formation show the 135-degree split point is working as intended.

Does the 54052 package include any lubricant or only the cobalt drill bit itself?

The box contains the 5/32-inch cobalt jobber drill bit; cutting fluid or lubricant must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the 5/32-inch 135-degree cobalt bit or a different size for general steel work?

The 5/32-inch size with 0.1563 decimal equivalent suits holes of that exact diameter; select a different fractional size when another hole diameter is required.
