Chicago-Latrobe 15.50 mm HSS Jobber Drill
This Chicago-Latrobe jobber drill bit is manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish. It features a 15.50 mm diameter and a conventional 118-degree point angle. The tool is designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic materials. It suits trade professionals and workshop users requiring a standard metric drill bit.
Practical limits of the 118-degree conventional
The 118-degree conventional point provides reliable centring for general drilling tasks but may walk on very hard or angled surfaces without a centre punch. The bright finish offers no additional lubricity or heat resistance compared with coated alternatives. This bit lacks coolant-through capability, limiting its effectiveness in deep-hole or high-volume production drilling. Users needing extended tool life in abrasive alloys should consider coated or carbide options.
