Chicago-Latrobe 50571 1/2 in Drill Bit
This Chicago-Latrobe 50571 drill bit is built for deep-hole work in general-purpose machining. Its extra-long body reaches 7 1/2 in maximum drilling depth, making it suited for maintenance and fabrication tasks that standard bits cannot reach.
Suited for Deep Holes in Steel
Mechanics and fabricators drilling through thick steel plate or structural sections will benefit from the 4xD proportion and notched 118-degree point. Buyers who need higher heat resistance for stainless steel or exotic alloys should look at cobalt or carbide alternatives instead.
118-Degree Notched Point in High-Speed Steel
The 118-degree notched point is the specification that determines whether this bit matches the job; it centres quickly in mild steel and reduces wander at the 28-degree helix angle. If the application demands a split point or a different angle for harder materials, this is not the correct choice.

Questions about this item
What shank diameter fits the 1/2 in drill bit?
The 1/2 in drill bit uses a standard 1/2 in straight shank that fits any drill chuck accepting that size.
How do I start the 118 degree notched point without it walking?
Apply steady pressure and keep the drill perpendicular; the notched point self-centres but requires a firm start to prevent wandering.
When should I replace the high-speed steel bit?
Replace it when the cutting edges dull, the black oxide coating wears off, or the 118 degree point angle no longer cuts cleanly.
