6 mm Jobber Length Drill Bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 47295 is a 6 mm jobber length drill bit built for general-purpose drilling tasks. It suits trade professionals and workshop users who need a reliable bit for everyday metal and wood applications. The 118 degree conventional point angle supports accurate starting across common materials. This item is supplied new and ready for immediate use.
High Speed Steel with Black Oxide Finish
The bit is manufactured from high speed steel and treated with a black oxide surface. This combination improves wear resistance and helps reduce chip welding during extended drilling sessions. The finish also provides a degree of corrosion protection for workshop storage. No coolant holes are present, so the bit relies on external lubrication or air cooling when required.
118 Degree Conventional Point Angle
The 118 degree point angle determines how the bit engages the workpiece and is the critical specification for matching the tool to the material. It is optimised for general-purpose drilling in mild steel, aluminium and wood rather than specialised high-performance alloys. Buyers who need a split point for self-centring or a steeper angle for harder steels should select a different geometry.

Questions about this item
When will the 6 mm high-speed steel bit need replacing?
Replace the bit once the 118-degree conventional point dulls enough that feed pressure rises or hole quality drops; resharpening can extend life.
What limits continuous drilling with this jobber-length bit?
Heat buildup in the high-speed steel is the first limit; the black-oxide finish helps chip flow but offers no coolant channel.
How hot or noisy does the 47295 get during all-day use?
The bit itself runs hot under sustained load because it lacks coolant holes; noise comes from the drill motor, not the bit.
