Chicago-Latrobe 44024 Jobber Drill Bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 44024 is a general-purpose jobber length drill bit built for everyday drilling tasks. It suits tradespeople and DIY users who need a reliable bit for common materials.
3/8 inch size with 118 degree point angle
The bit measures 3/8 inch with a decimal equivalent of .3750 and features a 118 degree conventional point. This geometry handles standard drilling in metal, wood and plastic but is not designed for specialised high-performance or deep-hole applications.
High speed steel with black oxide finish
Constructed from high speed steel with a black oxide coating, the bit resists wear and reduces friction during normal use. The design includes no coolant holes, so heat builds faster in sustained or heavy-duty drilling.

Questions about this item
Will this 118-degree point bit drill cleanly in the 3/8-inch holes I already have in my jig?
The 118-degree conventional point is designed for general-purpose drilling and will follow existing 3/8-inch holes without wandering.
How can I confirm the bit is cutting correctly once I start drilling?
A properly sharpened 118-degree point produces continuous, well-formed chips and a smooth hole wall at 0.3750-inch diameter.
Does the 44024 come in a protective case or just the bare bit?
The listing describes a single jobber-length drill bit; no case, index or additional accessories are included.
