Chicago-Latrobe 48549 49/64" HSS 118° Jobber Drill Bit

Chicago-Latrobe 49/64" Jobber Drill Bit

The Chicago-Latrobe 48549 is a high-speed steel jobber length drill bit sized at 49/64 inch with a 118-degree conventional point. It features a black oxide finish and right-hand cutting direction for general-purpose drilling applications. The decimal equivalent measures .7656 inches for precise hole sizing.

Suited for general machine shop drilling

This bit serves machinists and maintenance technicians creating standard holes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials using conventional drilling equipment. The 118-degree point angle handles typical shop materials without specialised requirements. Buyers needing coolant-through capability or coated performance for high-volume production should evaluate alternative tooling options.

49/64 inch diameter with standard jobber length

The .7656 inch diameter accommodates common fractional hole requirements in maintenance and repair operations. High-speed steel construction provides adequate wear resistance for intermittent drilling tasks in mild steel, aluminium and cast iron. The non-coolant design limits sustained high-speed drilling in deep holes or difficult alloys where heat buildup accelerates wear.
