Chicago-Latrobe 44232 Jobber Drill Bit
This general-purpose jobber length drill bit is built for everyday drilling in metal, wood and plastic. It suits maintenance technicians, fabricators and DIY users who need a reliable 1/2 inch high-speed steel bit for common workshop tasks.
1/2 Inch Capacity and High-Speed Steel Headroom
The .5000 inch fractional size handles standard 1/2 inch clearance holes and tapping preparation with ease. Bright uncoated high-speed steel performs well in mild steel and aluminium but wears faster in hardened alloys or high-volume production runs.
118 Degree Conventional Point Practical Limits
The 118 degree conventional point centres quickly without a pilot hole in thinner sheet material. It is not suited for deep-hole drilling beyond standard jobber flute length or for materials that demand a split-point or coolant-fed design.

Questions about this item
Will the 118-degree point angle on this 44232 bit work cleanly with my older 1/2-inch drill press chuck?
Yes, the 118-degree conventional point is designed for general-purpose drilling and fits standard 1/2-inch chucks on older drill presses without binding or wobble.
How can I confirm the 44232 bit is cutting correctly once installed in my drill?
The bright high-speed steel flutes should produce consistent, curled chips and a clean 0.5000-inch hole without excessive heat or chatter when run at proper speed.
Does the 44232 package include any coolant accessories or only the drill bit itself?
The box contains the single jobber-length drill bit; it has zero coolant holes and is non-coolant-through, so no coolant hardware is included or required.
