Chicago-Latrobe 52465 Reduced Shank Drill
This Chicago-Latrobe 52465 drill bit features a 118-degree point angle and a 1/2 reduced shank designed for use in larger drill chucks. The high-speed steel construction with black oxide finish provides durability for general-purpose metal drilling tasks. It suits maintenance professionals and fabricators who need a single large-diameter bit for occasional heavy-duty work.
Installation fits standard half-inch chucks directly
The reduced shank allows the bit to seat securely in any drill press or handheld drill equipped with a 1/2-inch chuck without requiring a sleeve or adapter. Because the cutting diameter exceeds the shank size, apply steady feed pressure and cutting fluid to prevent the bit from grabbing or stalling in the workpiece. Excessive speed or insufficient lubrication are the most common causes of premature wear or breakage.
Suited for machinists drilling large holes in steel
This bit serves users who need a 1 1/64-inch hole in ferrous materials and already own a 1/2-inch capacity drill. It is not intended for production runs requiring carbide tooling or for drilling hardened alloys that demand specialised geometry. Buyers needing a full set of incremental sizes or bits with coolant-through capability should look at something else.
