Chicago-Latrobe 42791 Heavy-Duty Drill Bit
This Chicago-Latrobe 42791 is a jobber length drill bit made from high speed steel with a TiAlN coating. It is designed for general purpose drilling tasks in a workshop or maintenance setting where a durable, coated bit is required.
Suited for metalworkers needing a split point bit
The split point geometry aids self-centring at the start of the hole. Buyers who need a coolant-through design for deep hole drilling or a different point angle for specialised materials should look at other options.
135 degree point angle and .3680 inch size
The 135 degree point angle combined with the .3680 inch diameter (letter size U) determines the cutting action and hole size. Verify these two figures match the requirements of the specific application before purchasing.

Questions about this item
Will the split point on this 135-degree drill bit need re-grinding after heavy use?
The split point geometry is ground into the high-speed steel body and can be resharpened on a standard drill sharpener when the cutting edges dull.
What temperature limit appears first during continuous drilling with the TiAlN coating?
The TiAlN coating is rated to withstand higher heat than uncoated HSS, so the base steel temper becomes the limiting factor before the coating degrades.
How hot does the shank get when running this jobber-length bit all day in steel?
Heat builds along the flute length; the shank stays cooler than the tip but will become too hot to touch without gloves during sustained high-speed drilling.
