Chicago-Latrobe 44970 Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit
This cobalt steel jobber drill bit is sized to letter Z with a decimal equivalent of .4130 inches. It is built for professionals who need a durable cutting tool for drilling hard metals such as stainless steel and high-strength alloys. The split point design with a 135 degree angle allows for accurate starting without a centre punch. The TiAlN coating adds wear resistance and helps reduce heat buildup during extended use.
Capacity and headroom for the Z size bit
The .4130 inch diameter handles precise hole-making in tough materials where standard high-speed steel bits would wear quickly. Cobalt construction maintains hardness at higher temperatures, giving it an edge in stainless steel, titanium and nickel-based alloys. The jobber length provides standard reach for general machine and hand-held drilling. It is not suited for deep-hole applications requiring extra-long flute length or for non-ferrous materials where a polished flute would clear chips more efficiently.
Highlights
- Split-point geometry starts holes accurately
- 135° point angle reduces walking on hard materials
- Cobalt steel resists heat during high-speed drilling
- TiAlN coating extends tool life in tough alloys

Questions about this item
Will the 135-degree split point on this jobber bit engage cleanly in the existing pilot holes I drill with standard twist bits?
The 135-degree split point is designed to self-centre and reduce walking on hard materials, so it tracks accurately in pre-drilled holes without the wander common with standard points.
How can I confirm the Z-size cobalt bit is cutting correctly once installed in my drill press?
Check that the .4130 decimal diameter matches your specification, then observe a clean, chatter-free cut with consistent chip formation and no blueing on the cobalt steel flutes.
