Chicago-Latrobe 46601 Cobalt Drill Bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 46601 is a jobber length drill bit manufactured from HAWA cobalt material. It features a 135 degree split point designed for self-centering and reduced thrust. The fractional size is 1/64 inch with a decimal equivalent of .0156. The bit has a straw bronze finish and zero coolant holes.
Suited for hard metal drilling tasks
This bit suits machinists and maintenance technicians drilling into stainless steel, titanium or other tough alloys where cobalt heat resistance is required. The split point helps start holes accurately without a centre punch. Buyers needing larger diameters, coolant-through capability or a full drill set should look at other options.
Verify chuck capacity and material compatibility
Before ordering, confirm your drill chuck can securely grip a 1/64 inch shank. Ensure the workpiece material matches cobalt bit recommendations for best tool life. Check that the 135 degree point angle suits your application requirements. No coolant feed is needed for this solid design.

Questions about this item
Will my drill chuck hold a 1/64 in bit securely?
A 1/64 in bit requires a chuck that closes fully to 0.0156 in; most 3/8 in and 1/2 in keyless chucks will grip it, but check the minimum capacity of your specific model.
Can I use this cobalt bit in a standard cordless drill?
Yes, the 135 degree split point reduces walking and works with typical cordless drill speeds; use cutting fluid and light pressure to avoid overheating the small diameter.
How do I know the split point is centred after I start drilling?
The 135 degree split point should self-centre on contact; if the bit walks or the hole is off-centre, the point may be damaged or the drill speed too high.
