Chicago-Latrobe Jobber Drill 17/32 in

The Chicago-Latrobe Jobber Drill is a high-speed steel cutting tool designed for general-purpose drilling tasks. Its fractional 17/32 inch size suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need precise holes in metal or wood. The 118-degree conventional point provides reliable centering without a pilot hole. A titanium nitride coating reduces friction and extends tool life during repetitive use.

Replaces worn or undersized jobber bits

This drill bit replaces dull or damaged jobber-length bits of the same diameter when cutting performance drops. The jump is worth it when the existing bit wanders, overheats, or leaves rough finishes in steel or alloy. The TiN surface helps maintain sharpness longer than uncoated high-speed steel. It is not for coolant-through applications or materials requiring specialised point geometries.

Questions about this item

What chuck size is needed for the 17/32 in shank?

A 1/2 in or larger drill chuck is required to hold the 17/32 in shank; smaller chucks cannot grip it securely.

How should the 118 degree point be started to avoid walking?

Use a centre punch mark and light pressure at low speed until the conventional point engages, then increase feed; skipping the punch step lets the bit skate.
