Chicago-Latrobe 52472 118 Degree Drill
The Chicago-Latrobe 52472 is a Silver & Deming drill bit with a 118 degree point angle. It features a 1/2 reduced shank for use in chucks with smaller capacity. The bit is made from high speed steel with a black oxide finish. It is designed for general-purpose drilling in metal.
Machinists needing a large-diameter bit
This drill suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need to drill 1 1/8 inch holes using a drill press or large hand drill with a 1/2 inch chuck. It is not for users who require a split-point tip for self-centering without a centre punch. Buyers needing a bit for deep-hole drilling or very hard alloys should evaluate other geometries.
118 degree point angle
The 118 degree point angle is the key specification that determines how this bit cuts. It provides a conventional cutting action suitable for a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The high speed steel body offers a balance of hardness and toughness for general workshop use. Verify the point angle matches your application requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item
Which drill bit size and point angle suit general-purpose metal drilling?
The 1 1/8 in bit with a 118 degree point angle is designed for general-purpose drilling in metal using high speed steel.
How does the 118 degree point angle perform in a hand drill or press?
The 118 degree point angle centres quickly and cuts efficiently in steel, cast iron and similar materials without wandering.
What does the 1/2 reduced shank allow on a standard drill?
The 1/2 reduced shank fits a standard 1/2 in chuck so the large 1 1/8 in bit can be used on common drills.
