Heavy-Duty Extra Long Drill
The Chicago-Latrobe 50498 is a heavy-duty extra long drill built for demanding drilling tasks. Its 118-degree point angle supports efficient material penetration. This tool suits professional users who need extended reach in tough applications. It is sold new and ready for immediate use.
Upgrading from Standard Length Bits
This drill replaces shorter bits when depth or access is limited by workpiece thickness or fixture interference. The jump is worth it for jobs that cannot be completed with standard-length tooling. It is not for buyers who need a compact bit for tight clearances or light-duty occasional use.
Sustained Load Behaviour
The heavy-duty construction helps maintain cutting performance during prolonged drilling cycles. Heat buildup is managed through the robust design to support consistent material removal. The 118-degree geometry retains sharpness over extended contact time. It is not for high-volume production runs requiring coolant-fed tooling.

Questions about this item
What shank size does the 50498 drill bit require in my drill chuck?
The Chicago-Latrobe 50498 is a straight-shank twist bit; choose a chuck capacity that matches the bit diameter you select for the 118-degree point.
How do I avoid snapping the extra-long flute when I start the hole?
Clamp the workpiece, centre-punch the mark, and run the drill at low RPM with steady pressure so the long flute clears chips without binding.
When should I replace the 118-degree cutting edges?
Replace the bit when the lips show visible wear, the point angle deforms, or the drill walks instead of biting cleanly in steel.
