Chicago-Latrobe 44234 Jobber Drill Bit
This Chicago-Latrobe 44234 drill bit is a jobber-length cutting tool made from High Speed Steel. It features a 17/32 in diameter with a 118-degree conventional point angle. The bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose drilling tasks across various materials.
Suits general-purpose drilling in metal wood plastic
This bit suits machinists and maintenance staff needing a standard fractional-size tool for handheld or press work. It is not for buyers who need coolant-through capability for deep-hole chip evacuation. It is also not for users who require a coated or carbide tip for high-volume production runs.
17/32 in diameter with 118-degree point angle
The 17/32 in size (decimal equivalent .5313) determines the hole diameter this bit produces. The 118-degree point angle is the critical specification for general-purpose cutting geometry. Verify this exact fractional size and point angle match your application requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item
Does the 44234 drill bit come in a pack or do I need to buy a case separately?
The 44234 is sold as a single 17/32 in jobber length bit. No case or additional accessories are included in the box.
Should I choose the 17/32 in size or a different diameter for general steel drilling?
Select the 17/32 in (.5313 decimal) size when your project requires that exact hole diameter; other diameters are separate items.
How does the 118 degree point angle perform in a hand drill on mild steel?
The 118 degree conventional point centres quickly in mild steel and works well in standard hand drills without a pilot hole.
