1/2 inch Jobber Drill Bit for General Drilling

This Chicago-Latrobe jobber drill bit measures 1/2 inch with a decimal equivalent of .5000. It is made from high speed steel and features a bright uncoated finish. The split point tip uses a 135 degree angle to start accurately without a centre punch. Model 68932 suits general purpose drilling in metal, wood and plastic.

Consistent Cutting Under Continuous Use

The high speed steel body retains hardness when heat builds during sustained drilling. A 135 degree split point reduces walking and keeps the bit centred through repeated holes. The bright finish allows chips to clear without the friction that coating can add under load. Not for buyers who need coolant-through capability or coated bits for high volume production runs.

Questions about this item

Does the 135-degree split point on this 1/2-inch HSS drill bit reduce heat buildup during prolonged drilling?

The 135-degree split point design helps the bit start cleanly and cut efficiently, which can lower friction and heat generation compared to standard points during extended use.

What shank type does the 68932 jobber drill have so I know if it fits my drill chuck?

The bit has a standard straight shank matching its 1/2-inch diameter, so it fits any three-jaw chuck that accepts 1/2-inch round shanks.
