Chicago-Latrobe 44010 Jobber Drill
The Chicago-Latrobe 44010 is a general-purpose jobber length drill bit sized at 5/32 inch. It is intended for machinists and maintenance technicians who need a reliable high-speed steel cutting tool for everyday drilling tasks. The black oxide finish helps reduce friction and resist corrosion during use.
118 Degree Point Under Sustained Use
The conventional 118 degree point angle provides consistent centering and chip evacuation across a range of common materials. Because the bit is non-coolant through with zero coolant holes, heat management relies on the black oxide coating and proper feed rates rather than internal fluid delivery. Operators should allow cooling intervals during deep or repetitive drilling to maintain edge integrity.
Compatibility Checks Before Ordering
Verify that your drill chuck accommodates a 5/32 inch shank and that your machine delivers suitable speed and torque for high-speed steel tooling. Confirm the fractional inch sizing matches your project specifications since the decimal equivalent is 0.1563. Ensure the workpiece material is appropriate for a standard 118 degree point without specialised geometry requirements.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 118-degree point generate when the 5/32-inch drill runs continuously?
The 118-degree conventional point on this 5/32-inch high-speed steel bit is designed for general-purpose cutting; heat buildup depends on material, speed and coolant use rather than a fixed value.
What chuck size must I already own to hold the 5/32-inch shank?
Any standard drill chuck that accepts fractional-inch bits down to 5/32 inch (0.1563 decimal) will secure this jobber-length drill.
Will the black-oxide finish on this 44010 bit work with older high-speed steel drills in the same set?
The black-oxide coating on this high-speed steel jobber drill is compatible with older HSS bits; mixing finishes does not affect performance.
