Chicago-Latrobe 77657 Jobber Drill

The Chicago-Latrobe 77657 is a jobber-length drill bit sized at 5/16 in with a decimal equivalent of .3125. It is built for machinists and maintenance technicians who need a reliable fractional-inch drill for general-purpose holemaking in a variety of materials.

118° Conventional Point Geometry

The 118-degree conventional point angle provides effective centering and chip evacuation in standard drilling operations. A bright, uncoated finish keeps the cutting edges sharp for easy resharpening, while the non-coolant-through design suits both hand-held and machine use without requiring through-spindle coolant delivery.

Carbide-Tipped HAWA Construction

Carbide tips brazed to a HAWA body deliver the hardness needed for abrasive or tough materials while the steel shank absorbs shock. The bundle contains only the drill bit itself, so operators must supply their own tool holders, coolant systems or lubricants to match the specific application.
