Chicago-Latrobe 44037 Jobber Drill Bit
This Chicago-Latrobe 44037 jobber drill bit is a general-purpose cutting tool made from high speed steel with a black oxide finish. It features a 37/64 inch diameter and a 118 degree conventional point angle for standard drilling tasks.
Suited for fractional-inch drilling in metal
The 0.5781 decimal equivalent size suits machinists and maintenance crews drilling precise holes in ferrous or non-ferrous materials. It is not for coolant-through operations, as the bit has zero coolant holes and a non-coolant-through design.
118 degree conventional point angle
The 118 degree point angle determines how the bit centres and cuts in general-purpose applications. Buyers needing a split point for self-centring or a different angle for hard alloys should look at other geometries.

Questions about this item
Does the 118 degree point angle on the 44037 drill bit reduce heat buildup during all-day drilling?
The 118 degree conventional point is designed for general-purpose cutting in metal and wood, helping manage chip evacuation and reducing friction during extended use.
What chuck size do I need to hold the 37/64 inch shank on this jobber bit?
A drill chuck with at least a 37/64 inch (0.5781 decimal) capacity is required to secure the straight shank of this high-speed steel bit.
Will the black oxide finish on this 44037 bit wear faster when used with an older drill press?
The black oxide coating provides corrosion resistance and helps retain lubricant, performing consistently on both modern and older drill presses with standard chucks.
