Chicago-Latrobe 44009 jobber drill bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 44009 is a fractional-inch jobber length drill bit sized at 9/64 in. It is made from high speed steel with a black oxide finish for general-purpose drilling tasks. The 118 degree conventional point angle suits a wide range of materials. This tool is aimed at professionals and DIY users needing a reliable bit for everyday workshop jobs.
Fits standard chucks and frees specialty bits
The bit installs directly into any drill chuck that accepts a 9/64 in shank with no adapter required. Its jobber length provides standard reach for typical through-hole and pilot-hole work. Using this general-purpose bit reserves longer or cobalt bits for more demanding applications. The non-coolant-through design keeps the setup simple for hand-held or press-mounted drilling.
Black oxide finish reduces friction
The black oxide surface treatment lowers friction and helps resist corrosion during use and storage. No coolant holes are present, so the bit relies on external lubrication or peck drilling for deeper cuts. The conventional point geometry is ready to use without regrinding. These features combine to extend bit life in routine steel, wood and plastic drilling.

Questions about this item
How long does the 118-degree point stay sharp when drilling steel all day?
The 118-degree conventional point is ground from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish that resists wear during extended drilling in metal.
Does the bit get too hot to touch during continuous use?
Black oxide coating helps dissipate heat, but the bit will become hot during sustained drilling; allow cooling periods and use cutting fluid to manage temperature.
What shank size does my drill chuck need to accept this 9/64-inch bit?
The jobber-length bit has a straight shank matching its 9/64-inch diameter, so any standard three-jaw chuck that opens to at least .1406 inch will hold it securely.
