Chicago-Latrobe 49728 Taper Length Drill Bit
This Chicago-Latrobe 49728 is a taper length drill bit designed for general purpose drilling tasks. It suits professionals and DIY users needing extended reach for deeper holes in various materials. The high speed steel construction provides durability for repeated use in workshop or job site environments. The black oxide finish adds corrosion resistance and helps reduce friction during operation.
Check your chuck capacity and material compatibility
Verify that your drill chuck can accommodate the 7/16 in shank diameter before ordering. Confirm the 118 degree point angle suits the material you intend to drill, as this geometry is optimised for general purpose use rather than specialised alloys. Ensure your drilling equipment delivers appropriate speed and feed rates for high speed steel tooling. The radial point design requires stable workpiece clamping for accurate results.
Fits standard drill chucks for deep-hole
The taper length shaft reaches deeper than standard jobber bits, freeing you from the need for extensions in many through-hole tasks. It works with any drill press or handheld drill accepting a 7/16 in shank, requiring no special adapters or tooling changes. The black oxide surface helps chip evacuation in deeper cuts, reducing the frequency of bit withdrawal. High speed steel construction allows resharpening, extending the service life of the bit.

Questions about this item
Does the Chicago-Latrobe 49728 drill bit come individually or in a set, and are any accessories included?
The product is sold as a single 7/16 in taper length drill bit; no case, extra bits or accessories are included in the package.
How do I decide whether the 118-degree point angle suits my material?
The 118-degree radial point is designed for general-purpose drilling in mild steel, aluminium and plastics; choose it when a standard point works across common shop materials.
What does the 118-degree specification mean when the bit is chucked into a drill press?
The 118-degree radial point centres quickly and produces standard chip formation in ferrous and non-ferrous metals without specialised tooling.
