Chicago-Latrobe 44017 Jobber Bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 44017 is a general-purpose jobber length drill bit sized at 17/64 in. It is made from high speed steel with a black oxide finish. The 118 degree conventional point suits standard drilling tasks in metal, wood and plastic. This bit targets trade users and DIYers needing a reliable fractional-inch cutter.
Check shank fit and material match
Verify that your drill chuck accepts a straight shank of this diameter before ordering. The bit has no coolant holes and is not designed for through-coolant systems. Confirm the workpiece material is compatible with high speed steel and the 118 degree point geometry. The decimal equivalent is 0.2656 in for precise layout work.
Steady cutting with black oxide surface
Under sustained load the black oxide finish helps retain lubricity and resist chip welding. The conventional point maintains centring without walking when feed pressure is consistent. High speed steel construction handles normal drilling heat without rapid edge breakdown. Avoid excessive speed or feed rates that exceed the material’s capacity.
