Chicago-Latrobe 19/64 in Cobalt Jobber Bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 46619 is a 19/64 inch jobber length drill bit made from HAWA cobalt steel. It is built for machinists and maintenance technicians who need a durable bit for drilling hard metals such as stainless steel and high-strength alloys. The fractional sizing suits imperial specification work where precise hole diameters are required.
135° Split Point Reduces Thrust and Heat
The 135 degree split point geometry centres the bit without a centre punch and lowers the feed pressure needed to start the cut. Reduced thrust cuts friction, so the cobalt substrate runs cooler and holds its edge longer during repetitive drilling. The non-coolant-through design relies on external flood or mist coolant for heat evacuation in deep holes.
Straw Bronze Finish Signals Heat Treatment
The straw bronze surface oxide confirms the final temper and helps identify the bit as cobalt grade in a mixed tool crib. No coatings or surface treatments are applied beyond the oxide layer, so the bit can be resharpened repeatedly without stripping a proprietary layer. The plain shank fits standard three-jaw chucks and collet holders without adapters.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 46619 19/64 in cobalt drill bit, and what step do people get wrong?
Chuck the 19/64 in split-point shank securely in a 3-jaw chuck. The step many miss is centre-punching the exact hole location so the 135° point does not walk on hard steel.
What maintenance or replacement will the 46619 19/64 in cobalt bit need later?
Re-sharpen the 135° split point on a dedicated cobalt grinding wheel when cutting slows; no coolant holes exist, so avoid overheating during touch-ups.
What limit appears first on the 46619 19/64 in cobalt bit under sustained drilling?
Heat buildup at the 135° split point — the non-coolant-through design and zero coolant holes mean temperature rises fastest in deep holes.
