Chicago-Latrobe 52458 Drill Bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 52458 is a Silver & Deming drill bit designed for general-purpose metalworking. Its 118-degree point angle suits standard drilling tasks in steel and other ferrous materials. The black oxide finish adds corrosion resistance and helps retain cutting fluid during operation. Machinists and maintenance technicians will find it compatible with standard drill presses and heavy-duty handheld drills.
29/32 Inch Capacity and High-Speed Steel
The 29/32 inch diameter handles large hole requirements in structural steel and heavy plate. High-speed steel construction maintains hardness at elevated temperatures for extended tool life. The reduced shank fits standard 1/2 inch chucks, limiting use to machines with that capacity. It is not suited for precision micro-drilling or automated high-speed production lines requiring carbide tooling.

- HSS construction resists heat during heavy drilling
- 118° point angle centres quickly in steel

Questions about this item
Will the 29/32 in reduced shank on the Chicago-Latrobe 52458 fit the chuck of my older 1/2 in drill press?
Yes, the reduced shank is designed for standard 1/2 in chucks found on many older drill presses and hand drills.
How can I confirm the 118 degree point angle is cutting correctly after I install the bit?
The bit should centre itself without walking, produce continuous chips in steel, and leave a clean, round hole at the rated 29/32 in diameter.
