Chicago-Latrobe 52454 drill bit 27/32 in
The Chicago-Latrobe 52454 is a silver and deming drill bit with a 27/32 inch diameter and a 118 degree point angle. It is made from high speed steel with a black oxide finish for durability. The reduced shank design allows use in drill chucks with smaller capacity. This new accessory suits general purpose drilling in metal, wood and plastic.
Reduced shank fits standard chucks
The reduced shank lets the 27/32 inch bit fit into standard 1/2 inch drill chucks without needing a larger machine. High speed steel construction resists heat during extended drilling sessions. Black oxide finish adds corrosion resistance and reduces friction. Buyers needing larger diameters or specialised point geometries for hardened materials should consider other options.
Highlights
- HSS construction resists heat during heavy drilling
- 118° point angle starts cleanly on metal surfaces
- Black oxide finish reduces friction and wear
- 27/32 in diameter with reduced shank fits standard chucks

Questions about this item
How often will the 118° point need resharpening?
The 118° high-speed steel point can be resharpened multiple times; frequency depends on material hardness and feed pressure.
What limits continuous drilling with the 27/32 in bit?
Heat buildup in the high-speed steel body is the first limit during sustained use; use cutting fluid and reduce speed to extend cutting time.
