Chicago-Latrobe 49744 Taper Length Drill Bit 11/16
This taper length drill bit is manufactured from high speed steel with a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance and reduced friction. It features a 118 degree radial point angle designed for general purpose drilling across a range of materials. The 11/16 inch diameter suits applications requiring this specific hole size. It is intended for professional and industrial users needing extended reach drilling capability.
Capacity and headroom for deep hole drilling
The taper length design provides extra flute and overall length compared to jobber drills, allowing deeper hole drilling in a single pass without frequent withdrawal. The high speed steel construction handles standard ferrous and non-ferrous metals effectively under proper cutting speeds. The 118 degree point works well for general materials but may walk on very hard or angled surfaces without a pilot hole. Buyers needing cobalt heat resistance or split point self-centering for stainless steel should consider other options.

Questions about this item
Will the 11/16 in shank fit my older drill press chuck?
The bit uses a standard straight shank sized for 11/16 in capacity chucks, so it will seat securely in any press or hand drill that accepts that diameter.
How can I confirm the 118° point is cutting correctly after I start drilling?
A properly sharpened 118° radial point produces short, curled chips and a round, centred hole without wandering or excessive heat buildup.
