Chicago-Latrobe 49256 Y-size drill bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 49256 is a Y-size screw machine drill bit built for precision drilling tasks. It suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need accurate hole sizing in metalworking applications. The .4040 decimal equivalent ensures compatibility with specific fastener requirements. This tool is not for buyers who need coolant-through capability or larger diameter cutting.
135° split point performance under load
The 135 degree split point geometry reduces thrust and prevents walking during initial contact. High speed steel construction maintains hardness during sustained drilling cycles in steel and alloy materials. Black oxide finish aids chip evacuation and reduces friction buildup over extended use. Right hand cutting direction matches standard machine spindle rotation.
High speed steel build and shank fit
High speed steel body with black oxide coating resists wear and corrosion in shop environments. Standard straight shank fits common drill chucks and collets without adapters. Non-coolant through design suits dry machining or external flood cooling setups. This bit is not for operators requiring through-spindle coolant delivery or left hand cutting orientation.
