Chicago-Latrobe 11018 Aircraft Extension Drill
The Chicago-Latrobe 11018 is a 5/16 inch NAS-type aircraft extension drill made from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish. It features a 135-degree split point for accurate starting and reduced thrust. The tool is designed for deep-hole drilling applications in aviation maintenance and precision metalworking where extended reach is required.
Suited for aviation technicians and metalworkers
This drill suits professionals drilling deep holes in tough materials who need the rigidity and chip clearance of a 4xD design with a 28-degree helix angle. It is not for buyers who need a standard jobber-length bit for shallow holes or a carbide-tipped tool for abrasive composites.
135-degree split point geometry
The 135-degree split point is the critical specification that enables self-centering on curved or hard surfaces without a pilot hole. This geometry reduces walking and lowers the force needed to penetrate high-strength alloys common in aircraft structures.

Questions about this item
What does the 135-degree split point do for drilling?
The 135-degree split point reduces walking and provides faster penetration in metal without a centre punch.
What shank size fits my drill chuck?
The 5/16 inch fractional shank fits standard three-jaw chucks that accept that diameter.
How deep can I drill in one pass?
Maximum drilling depth is 3 3/16 inches, so clear chips before reaching that limit.
