Chicago-Latrobe 44242 Jobber Drill Bit
This Chicago-Latrobe 44242 drill bit is a general-purpose jobber length tool made from high-speed steel. It suits tradespeople and DIY users needing a 21/32 inch fractional size for drilling metal, wood or plastic. The bright uncoated finish is standard for many workshop tasks.
Installation notes and common issues
The bit fits any standard drill chuck that accepts a 0.6563 inch shank; secure it tightly before starting. A conventional 118-degree point centres easily on flat surfaces but can wander on curved or hardened material without a centre punch. No coolant holes are present, so withdraw the bit frequently to clear swarf and reduce heat build-up.
Specification that decides fit
The decisive figure is the 21/32 inch diameter with a 118-degree point angle; verify your drawing or tapped-hole chart calls for exactly this size and angle. Buyers who need a different diameter, a split point for self-centring, or a coated bit for longer life in abrasive materials should select another product.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the 44242 drill bit is cutting correctly after I chuck it up?
The 118 degree conventional point should centre itself and produce clean chips in steel; if the hole measures .6563 in and the walls are smooth the bit is working as intended.
What comes in the package with the Chicago-Latrobe 44242 and is anything else required?
The box contains the single 21/32 in high-speed-steel jobber drill bit; no coolant holes or coating are included so cutting fluid must be supplied separately.
Which version of the 44242 should I choose for a 21/32 in hole in general-purpose steel?
The 44242 is offered only in the 21/32 in size with a 118 degree bright finish, so that single version covers the stated fractional-inch requirement.
