Chicago-Latrobe 49748 Taper Length Drill Bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 49748 is a high-speed steel taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling tasks. Its 118-degree radial point angle supports accurate starting and efficient material removal across common metals. This accessory suits maintenance technicians and metalworkers needing extended reach in standard drilling applications.
Fits standard drill chucks for extended reach
The taper length shank fits directly into standard drill chucks without requiring special holders or adapters. High-speed steel construction withstands the heat generated when drilling deeper holes in steel or iron. Black oxide finish reduces friction and helps clear chips during prolonged cuts.
Black oxide finish reduces wear
The black oxide surface treatment lowers friction between the bit and workpiece, extending cutting life in repetitive operations. Radial point geometry centres the bit quickly, reducing walk on flat surfaces. No additional coatings or accessories are included with this single bit.

Questions about this item
How deep can the 49748 bit drill before the flute length limits chip clearance?
The taper-length flute on the 49748 provides extended reach for deeper holes compared with jobber-length bits, allowing more material removal before you need to withdraw the bit.
Does the black-oxide high-speed steel run hot during all-day drilling in steel?
Black oxide helps retain cutting fluid and reduces friction, so the 49748 stays cooler than uncoated HSS during prolonged use in steel.
What shank size must my drill chuck accept to hold the 3/4 in 49748 bit?
The 49748 has a 3/4 in diameter shank, so your chuck or collet must open to at least 3/4 in to grip it securely.
