Chicago-Latrobe 44209 Jobber Drill Bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 44209 is a jobber length drill bit made from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish. It features a conventional 118 degree point angle and a 9/64 inch fractional size. The decimal equivalent measures .1406 inches. This general purpose bit suits standard drilling tasks in metal and wood.
Suits general workshop drilling.
This bit suits mechanics and fabricators who need a reliable general purpose drill for everyday materials. It lacks coolant holes so it is not suited for deep hole drilling or high heat applications requiring through coolant. Buyers needing coated bits for abrasive alloys or specialised point geometries for hard metals should look at different tooling.
Fits standard chucks and frees up coated inventory
The straight shank fits any standard drill chuck or collet accepting fractional inch sizes. No special holders or coolant systems are required for operation. Using this uncoated high speed steel bit for routine work preserves coated and carbide inventory for demanding jobs. The 118 degree point allows immediate centering without a pilot hole in most materials.

Questions about this item
Will the 118-degree point on the 44209 bit start cleanly in the mild steel I already drill?
The 118-degree conventional point is designed for general-purpose drilling in materials such as mild steel, so it will start cleanly in the steel you already work with.
Can I run the 9/64-inch 44209 bit in my older 3/8-inch chuck drill press?
Yes, the 9/64-inch shank fits any standard 3/8-inch chuck, so your existing drill press will hold it securely.
How do I confirm the 44209 bit is cutting correctly once installed?
Look for smooth, consistent chip formation and a hole diameter matching the .1406 decimal equivalent without excessive heat or vibration.
