Chicago-Latrobe 77661 Carbide Tipped Drill Bit

This Chicago-Latrobe 77661 jobber length drill bit measures 3/8 in with a decimal equivalent of 0.3750 in. It features a 118 degree conventional point angle and a bright uncoated finish. The carbide tipped construction suits drilling in abrasive or hard materials. It is a non coolant through design with zero coolant holes.

Installation notes and common issues

The straight shank fits standard three jaw drill chucks without adapters. Tighten the chuck securely on the smooth shank to prevent slippage under load. Carbide tips are brittle so avoid side pressure or wandering during entry. Running without coolant is possible but excessive heat can damage the tip braze joint.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify your drill chuck capacity accepts a 3/8 in shank diameter. Confirm the workpiece material suits carbide tipped tooling rather than high speed steel. Ensure your machine spindle speed and feed rate match the diameter and material. This bit has no coolant holes so external cooling or peck drilling may be needed for deep holes.
