9/16 in Taper Length Drill Bit
This Chicago-Latrobe 49736 drill bit is manufactured from high speed steel with a black oxide finish. It is designed for general purpose drilling in metal, wood and plastic where a longer flute length is required. The 118 degree radial point provides accurate starting and reduces walking on hard surfaces. Suitable for maintenance, fabrication and automotive repair tasks.
118 Degree Radial Point Geometry
The 118 degree point angle with radial grind determines how the bit engages the workpiece and clears chips in deep holes. This geometry favours centering accuracy and works well in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Buyers who need a split point for harder alloys or a different angle for specialised applications should verify the specification before purchase.

Questions about this item
What does the 118-degree point angle mean when I start drilling?
The 118-degree point is a general-purpose geometry that centres quickly in steel, wood and plastic and reduces wandering on flat surfaces.
How does the taper-length design affect the holes I can reach?
Taper-length bits have longer flutes than jobber drills, letting you drill deeper holes or reach through thick workpieces without changing tools.
