Chicago-Latrobe 44218 Jobber Drill Bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 44218 is a 9/32 inch jobber length drill bit designed for general purpose drilling tasks. It features a conventional 118 degree point angle made from High Speed Steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The decimal equivalent is .2813 inches.
Suited for general workshop drilling in metal
This bit suits machinists and maintenance technicians needing a standard fractional size for through-hole drilling. It is not for buyers who need a split point for self-centering, a coated tip for extended wear, or coolant-through capability for deep-hole chip evacuation.
9/32 inch diameter with standard jobber length
The .2813 inch diameter handles common fractional hole requirements in steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials. The jobber length provides standard reach for typical material thicknesses. It runs out when a shorter stub length is needed for rigidity or a longer taper length is required for extra depth.

Questions about this item
What drill chuck capacity do I need to hold the 9/32-inch shank of the Chicago-Latrobe 44218?
A chuck that opens to at least 9/32 inch (0.2813 in) will grip the bit; most 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch drill chucks meet this.
Will the 118-degree conventional point on the 44218 drill the same mild-steel parts I currently run with other jobber-length bits?
Yes, the 118-degree point is the standard angle for general-purpose drilling in mild steel and works with the same feed rates you already use.
How can I confirm the Chicago-Latrobe 44218 is cutting correctly after I clamp it in the drill?
The bit should produce a clean, round hole of 0.2813 inch diameter with consistent chips and no walking when started on centre-punched mild steel.
