Chicago-Latrobe 43632 Drill Bit
This Chicago-Latrobe 43632 is a jobber length drill bit built for heavy-duty applications. It suits professionals and DIY users who need a reliable 1/2 inch fractional inch bit for general drilling tasks in metal and wood.
135 Degree Split Point
The single specification that decides fit is the 135 degree split point geometry combined with a decimal equivalent of .5000 inches. This self-centering point angle reduces walking on hard surfaces and ensures accurate hole placement without a centre punch.
Easy Chuck Installation
Installation is straightforward: secure the straight shank in any standard drill chuck. The high speed steel construction with TiCN coating resists wear, though applying excessive side pressure can still snap the bit at the flute junction.

Questions about this item
What does the 135-degree point angle mean for drilling performance?
The 135-degree split point reduces walking and starts cutting immediately on contact, making it easier to drill precise holes in metal without a centre punch.
How does the TiCN coating affect the bit's capabilities?
The titanium carbonitride coating increases surface hardness and heat resistance, extending tool life when drilling tough materials like stainless steel or cast iron.
Will this 1/2-inch jobber bit fit my standard drill chuck?
Yes, the straight shank fits any three-jaw chuck that accepts 1/2-inch diameter, which is standard on most 1/2-inch capacity drill motors.
