Chicago-Latrobe 42790 T drill bit
This Chicago-Latrobe 42790 T drill bit is a jobber-length tool made from high-speed steel for general-purpose drilling. It suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need a reliable bit for creating precise holes in metal workpieces.
135-degree split-point tip with TiAlN coating
The 135-degree split-point geometry reduces walking and starts holes cleanly without a centre punch. A TiAlN coating adds surface hardness and heat resistance, extending tool life during repetitive drilling cycles in steel or alloy materials.
Check shank compatibility and coolant needs
Verify that your drill chuck or collet accepts the straight shank of this jobber-length bit before ordering. The design has zero coolant holes and is non-coolant-through, so external lubrication or air blast is required for deep-hole chip evacuation.

Questions about this item
What does the 135-degree split point do for drilling?
The 135-degree split point centres the bit without a pilot hole and reduces walking on hard surfaces.
What shank fits this jobber-length bit?
It has a straight round shank that fits standard three-jaw drill chucks.
How do you install the bit so it does not slip?
Open the chuck fully, insert the shank to the flats, tighten each jaw evenly, then verify zero run-out before drilling.
