Purpose and fit
This Chicago-Latrobe jobber length drill bit targets general purpose drilling tasks across metal and wood. The #36 wire gauge size suits precision work where a 0.1065 inch hole is required.
Material and point geometry
High speed steel construction provides the hardness needed for repeatable cutting without rapid wear. The 118 degree conventional point centres the bit quickly and reduces wandering on flat surfaces.
Finish and shank implications
A bright uncoated surface means the bit runs without a coating layer that could mask wear or chip away. The straight shank fits standard three-jaw chucks and collets, allowing quick changes on drill presses or hand drills.

Questions about this item
Will the #36 high-speed steel bit need re-sharpening or replacement after heavy use?
The #36 high-speed steel bit will dull over time and require re-sharpening or replacement once the cutting edges wear down.
What limits continuous drilling with the 118-degree conventional point?
Heat buildup at the 118-degree conventional point is the first limit during sustained drilling, especially without coolant holes.
How much heat does the bright uncoated finish generate during all-day drilling?
The bright uncoated finish on the high-speed steel bit generates more heat than coated alternatives during extended drilling sessions.
