Chicago-Latrobe 52461 Silver & Deming Drill
The Chicago-Latrobe 52461 is a silver and deming drill bit designed for general-purpose machining tasks. It features a 61/64 inch cutting diameter and a reduced 1/2 inch shank for compatibility with standard drill chucks. This tool suits machinists and maintenance professionals requiring a specific large-hole size.
118-degree point angle cutting geometry
The 118-degree point angle provides a conventional cutting profile suitable for a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. This geometry centres the bit without a pilot hole but requires appropriate feed pressure to prevent walking on hard surfaces. The high-speed steel construction dictates standard cutting speeds for the material class.
Black oxide finish high-speed steel body
The black oxide finish adds corrosion resistance and helps retain cutting lubricant during operation. High-speed steel offers a balance of hardness and toughness for general workshop use but wears faster than cobalt or carbide alternatives on abrasive alloys. The reduced shank allows use in 1/2 inch capacity chucks without a special holder.
