Chicago-Latrobe 44208 Jobber Drill Bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 44208 is a general-purpose jobber length drill bit designed for standard drilling tasks. It features a conventional 118-degree point angle suitable for a wide range of materials. The bright, uncoated finish provides a clean surface for general workshop use. This tool targets tradespeople and DIY users needing reliable fractional sizing.
1/8 Inch Capacity with .1250 Decimal Precision
The bit handles 1/8 inch diameter holes with a decimal equivalent of .1250 for precise fractional work. Its jobber length offers standard flute reach for typical drilling depths in metal, wood, or plastic. The high-speed steel construction resists wear during repeated use. It runs out when applications require coolant-through capability or specialised coatings for abrasive alloys.
Bright High-Speed Steel for Standard Chucks
The bright finish high-speed steel body fits standard drill chucks without requiring specialised holders. The non-coolant-through design with zero coolant holes simplifies setup for hand-held or press operations. It frees up the need for coated bits in low-heat, general-purpose scenarios. Builds needing through-tool coolant delivery or advanced surface treatments must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
Will the 118-degree point angle on this 44208 bit work with my older drill press chuck?
The 118-degree conventional point is a standard geometry compatible with virtually any drill press or hand drill chuck that accepts a 1/8-inch shank.
How can I confirm the 44208 bit is cutting correctly after I start drilling?
A properly functioning bit produces clean, continuous chips and a round hole measuring .1250 inches without excessive heat or wandering.
Does the 44208 come in a protective case or do I need to buy storage separately?
The bit is supplied as a single unit without a case; a drill bit index or pouch must be purchased separately for organisation.
