Chicago-Latrobe 19/32 in Jobber Bit
This Chicago-Latrobe jobber-length drill bit is manufactured from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish. It is engineered for general-purpose drilling across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials in maintenance and fabrication shops.
Fits 19/32 in fractional-inch holes
The 118-degree conventional point suits standard drilling operations where a split point or specialised geometry is not required. Buyers needing coolant-through capability or a different point angle should select an alternative tool.
19/32 in diameter with 118-degree point
The fractional size yields a decimal equivalent of .5938 in for precise hole sizing. This specific diameter and point angle determine compatibility with the intended drilling application.

Questions about this item
What chuck capacity is required for the 19/32 in shank?
A chuck that opens to at least 19/32 in (0.5938 in) will accept the straight shank of this jobber drill bit.
How should the 118° conventional point be started to avoid wandering?
Centre-punch the workpiece, then apply steady axial pressure at low speed until the point engages before increasing RPM.
When does the black-oxide high-speed-steel bit need replacement?
Replace it when the cutting lips no longer produce clean chips after hand honing or when the 118° point angle has worn beyond useful geometry.
