Precision drilling for large holes
The Chicago-Latrobe 52437 is a Silver & Deming drill bit designed for creating 37/64 inch holes in metal. Its high-speed steel construction withstands the heat generated when boring large diameters. The 118-degree point angle provides reliable centring and chip ejection in general-purpose machining. This accessory targets machinists and maintenance technicians who need consistent results in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
Fits standard half-inch chucks
The reduced 1/2 inch shank allows the bit to be secured in any drill press or heavy-duty hand drill equipped with a standard 1/2 inch capacity chuck. This eliminates the need for a larger specialised holder or a Morse taper adapter. The black oxide finish reduces friction and resists corrosion during extended cutting cycles. The design frees up larger machine capacity for other tooling.
Black oxide finish extends service life
The factory-applied black oxide coating improves lubricity and helps prevent workpiece material from welding to the cutting edges. This surface treatment also adds a layer of corrosion resistance during storage. No additional coatings or specialised lubricants are supplied with the bit. Users should apply appropriate cutting fluid for the specific material being drilled to maximise tool life.

Questions about this item
What is the maximum hole diameter the 37/64 in Silver & Deming drill can produce?
The drill bit size is 37/64 in, so it produces a hole of that exact diameter.
How much heat does the high-speed steel bit generate during extended drilling?
High-speed steel with black oxide finish dissipates heat effectively during sustained use.
What shank size must my drill chuck accept for the 52437 bit to fit?
The bit has a 1/2 reduced shank, requiring a chuck capacity of at least 1/2 in.
