Chicago-Latrobe 47259 Jobber Drill Bit
This Chicago-Latrobe 47259 drill bit is a general-purpose cutting tool manufactured from High Speed Steel with a black oxide finish. It is designed for handheld or machine drilling across a range of common materials in workshop and maintenance environments.
Suited for general metalworking tasks.
The 118-degree conventional point handles mild steel, aluminium and plastics in portable drills or drill presses. Buyers needing coolant-through capability, specialised coatings for abrasive alloys, or left-hand helix geometry should select a different bit.
3 mm diameter with 118-degree point angle
The drill measures 3 mm (0.1181 in decimal) with a standard jobber flute length and zero coolant holes. This specific diameter and point geometry determine whether the bit matches the required hole size and material engagement for the job.

Questions about this item
How does the 118 degree point angle affect drilling in a hand-held drill?
The 118 degree point is a general-purpose geometry that centres easily in steel, wood and plastic without a pilot hole, giving reliable starts in a hand-held drill.
What shank standard does this bit use and what chuck size does it need?
It has a straight round shank sized at 3 mm (0.1181 in) so it fits any 3 mm or larger three-jaw chuck.
What is the overall length of this jobber bit and will it clear my workpiece?
Jobber length follows the standard proportion for a 3 mm diameter, providing enough flute length for typical through-holes while remaining rigid in a drill press or hand drill.
