Chicago-Latrobe 52438 19/32 in Drill Bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 52438 is a Silver & Deming drill bit with a 19/32 inch cutting diameter and a 1/2 inch reduced shank. It is made from high speed steel with a black oxide finish and features a 118 degree point angle for general purpose drilling in metal.
Suited for large holes in metal.
This bit suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need to drill 19/32 inch holes in steel or cast iron using a standard 1/2 inch chuck. It is not for users who require smaller diameters, different point angles, or a full-size shank that matches the cutting diameter.
19/32 inch cutting diameter
The defining specification is the 19/32 inch drill bit size combined with a 1/2 inch reduced shank. This allows the large cutting diameter to be used in drill presses or hand drills limited to a 1/2 inch chuck capacity, provided the machine has sufficient torque.
Highlights
- 19/32 in diameter drills large holes
- 1/2 in reduced shank fits standard chucks
- 118° point angle starts holes cleanly
- High-speed steel resists heat and wear
- Black oxide finish adds corrosion protection

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 19/32 in size or a different Silver & Deming drill?
Select the 19/32 in bit when that exact hole diameter is required; other Silver & Deming sizes cover different diameters.
What does the 118° point angle mean when drilling metal?
The 118° point is a general-purpose geometry that centres well in steel and cast iron without needing a pilot hole.
How does the 1/2 reduced shank affect compatibility?
The 1/2 reduced shank fits any 1/2 in chuck, letting you run this large bit in standard drill presses and heavy-duty hand drills.
