Chicago-Latrobe Jobber Drill Bit X

This Chicago-Latrobe jobber drill bit is sized to letter X and made from high speed steel with a TiN coating. It suits mechanics and fabricators drilling metal where a standard length and conventional 118 degree point are required. The decimal equivalent is .3970 inches.

Practical limits of the conventional point

The 118 degree conventional point works well in general purpose steel and cast iron but can walk on very hard or abrasive alloys without a pilot hole. It is not a coolant through design so deep holes in tough materials may need peck drilling or external lubrication. Buyers who need split point geometry or internal coolant delivery should look elsewhere.
