10 mm Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 46488 is a 10 mm cobalt jobber drill bit designed for heavy-duty metal drilling. Its 135-degree split point reduces walking and starts on contact. The straw-bronze finish identifies the cobalt alloy construction. This accessory fits standard drill chucks for professional and workshop use.
Check shank fit and material suitability
Verify that your drill chuck accepts a 10 mm straight shank before ordering. The split point geometry is optimised for hard metals such as stainless steel and high-strength alloys. The bit has no coolant holes, so external lubrication or peck drilling is required for deep holes. Ensure your application does not require through-coolant capability.
Suited for metalworkers without through-coolant
This bit suits machinists and fabricators drilling 10 mm holes in tough materials where a split point improves accuracy. It is not for operators who require internal coolant delivery for high-volume production. Buyers needing larger diameters or different point angles should look at other options. Users without a compatible chuck capacity cannot use this bit.

Questions about this item
Does the 10 mm cobalt bit come alone or in a set?
The supplier lists a single 10 mm jobber-length drill bit with a 135° split point; no case or additional bits are mentioned.
Should I choose this 10 mm cobalt bit or a smaller size for general steel work?
The 10 mm diameter suits holes of that exact size; for smaller holes you would need a different diameter bit.
How does the 135° split point perform when drilling into hard steel?
The 135° split-point geometry reduces wandering and starts cutting immediately in tough materials such as stainless or high-carbon steel.
