11/16 inch jobber drill bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 44044 is a fractional-inch drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling tasks. Its 118-degree conventional point suits a wide range of materials in both handheld and stationary machines. The high-speed steel body features a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance. This bit addresses the need for a standard-length 11/16 inch cutter.
Check shank fit and material suitability
Verify that your drill chuck accepts a straight shank up to the bit diameter. Confirm the workpiece material is compatible with high-speed steel and a 118-degree point geometry. The bit has no coolant holes, so external lubrication or peck drilling may be required for deeper holes. Ensure the application does not demand a reduced-shank or coolant-through design.
Fits standard chucks and frees specialised bits
The straight shank fits directly into standard three-jaw chucks without sleeves or adapters. Using this jobber-length bit for common 11/16 inch holes preserves longer or shorter specialty bits for their intended depths. Its non-coolant construction simplifies setup in dry-cutting environments. The decimal equivalent of .6875 inch aids precise layout work.

Questions about this item
Does the Chicago-Latrobe 44044 come as a single bit or a set, and do I need to buy a drill chuck separately?
The item is a single 11/16 in jobber length drill bit. It fits a standard three-jaw chuck so no extra chuck is required unless your drill uses a different mounting system.
Should I choose the 11/16 in size or a different diameter for general purpose drilling?
Choose 11/16 in when you need a hole of that exact fractional diameter. For other hole sizes select the matching fractional bit from the same CHICAGO-LATROBE jobber length series.
What does the 118 degree point angle mean when I use the bit in a hand drill?
The 118 degree conventional point centres easily in steel and wood, giving reliable starts without a centre punch in most materials.
