Chicago-Latrobe 44238 Jobber Drill Bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 44238 is a jobber-length drill bit manufactured from high-speed steel. It features a 19/32 inch diameter with a decimal equivalent of .5938 and a 118-degree conventional point angle. The bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose drilling tasks across various materials.
For general-purpose drilling in metal and wood
This bit suits mechanics and maintenance workers needing a standard fractional-size drill for common workshop jobs. Builders who require coolant-through capability or a specialised coating for high-temperature alloys should look at something else. The lack of coolant holes limits use in deep-hole or high-heat production drilling.
19/32 inch diameter with 118-degree point
The 19/32 inch cutting diameter determines the hole size this bit produces. The 118-degree point angle is designed for general-purpose cutting in steel, cast iron and similar materials. Verify that your chuck accommodates this shank size before purchase.
