Chicago-Latrobe 50805 Drill Bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 50805 is a screw machine drill bit made from cobalt steel for drilling hard metals. Its 135-degree split point reduces walking and starts the cut cleanly. The straw finish identifies the cobalt alloy and resists corrosion. It is built for machine use where precision and tool life matter.
Suits CNC and manual drilling; not for softwoods
Machinists and maintenance technicians drilling stainless steel, titanium or high-strength alloys will benefit from the cobalt substrate and split-point geometry. The right-hand cutting direction matches standard collets and chucks. Buyers needing a bit for wood, plastic or non-ferrous sheet should choose a different geometry.
1/8 inch size with 135-degree split point
The drill bit diameter is 1/8 inch, decimal equivalent .1250, which determines the hole size produced. The 135-degree point angle and split point control chip formation and centring accuracy in tough materials. Select this bit only when the required hole matches that exact diameter.

Questions about this item
What chuck size accepts the 1/8 in shank on the 50805 drill bit?
A standard 3/8 in or 1/2 in drill chuck will grip the 1/8 in shank; tighten fully so the split point runs true.
How do I start a hole with the 135 degree split point without walking?
Place the tip on the mark, apply steady pressure, and let the split point centre itself — no centre punch needed.
When should I replace this cobalt steel bit?
Replace it when the cutting edges no longer produce clean chips or the straw-coloured finish has worn to bare steel.
