Chicago-Latrobe 55446 Drill Bit 23/32 in

This Chicago-Latrobe 55446 is a Silver & Deming drill bit with a 23/32 in diameter and a 1/2 in reduced shank. It is made from High Speed Steel with a black oxide finish and a 118 degree point angle. The bit suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need to drill large holes with a standard drill chuck.

Suits large-hole drilling with 1/2 in chuck

This bit suits users who need a 23/32 in hole but only have a drill with a 1/2 in chuck capacity. The reduced shank bridges that gap effectively. It is not for buyers who need a bit with a shank matching the full cutting diameter or who require a different point angle for specialised materials.

118 degree point angle for general drilling

The 118 degree point angle is the key specification that defines this bit's cutting behaviour. It is the standard geometry for general-purpose drilling in steel and other common metals. If your application demands a split point for self-centring or a steeper angle for harder alloys, this specific geometry will not meet that need.

Questions about this item

Will the 1/2 reduced shank on the Chicago-Latrobe 55446 fit the chuck on my older 1/2-inch drill press?

Yes, the 1/2 reduced shank is designed to fit standard 1/2-inch chucks found on many older drill presses and hand drills.

How can I confirm the 118-degree point angle is cutting correctly in high-speed steel after installation?

The bit should produce clean, consistent chips without excessive heat or walking when starting a hole in steel.

Does the Chicago-Latrobe 55446 come with a protective case or just the black oxide drill bit itself?

The product includes the 23/32-inch high-speed steel drill bit with black oxide finish; no case or additional accessories are included.
