Chicago-Latrobe 42630 Jobber Drill Bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 42630 is a jobber length drill bit designed for general purpose drilling tasks. It features a 135 degree split point that helps reduce walking and starts holes accurately. This accessory is built from high speed steel with a TiAlN coating for extended tool life.
Suited for metalworkers needing split point accuracy
This bit suits machinists and fabricators who require a self-centering point for drilling steel and other ferrous materials. The fractional sizing matches imperial specifications precisely. It is not intended for applications requiring coolant-through capability or for drilling extremely deep holes beyond standard jobber length reach.
15/32 inch diameter with 135 degree split point
The decisive specification is the 15/32 inch diameter combined with a 135 degree split point geometry. This pairing determines the hole size produced and the bit's ability to start cleanly without a centre punch. The decimal equivalent of .4688 inch confirms the exact size for tooling charts and CNC programming.
