Chicago-Latrobe 52476 Reduced Shank Drill Bit
This Chicago-Latrobe 52476 drill bit is built for machinists and maintenance technicians who need to bore large-diameter holes in metal using a standard 1/2 inch chuck. The 118-degree point angle provides reliable centring and general-purpose cutting performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
1 3/16 Inch High-Speed Steel Construction
The reduced 1/2 inch shank allows the 1 3/16 inch cutting diameter to be used in drill presses and handheld drills that cannot accept larger straight shanks. High-speed steel construction delivers the hardness and heat resistance required for machining steel, while the black oxide finish helps retain lubricant and resist corrosion during extended use.
Upgrading from Standard Twist Drills
This bit replaces the need for hole saws or step drills when a precise, round 1 3/16 inch hole is required in thicker stock. The jump is worth it for production work where the rigidity of a solid high-speed steel body reduces chatter and improves hole accuracy compared to lighter-duty alternatives.

Questions about this item
How does the 118-degree point angle hold up under sustained drilling?
The 118-degree point angle is designed for general-purpose drilling and maintains its cutting geometry during extended use in metal and wood.
Does the black oxide finish affect heat buildup during all-day operation?
The black oxide finish helps reduce friction and dissipate heat, keeping the bit cooler during continuous high-speed steel drilling.
Will my drill need a specific chuck to accept the 1/2 reduced shank?
Yes, your drill chuck must accommodate a 1/2-inch shank diameter to securely hold this reduced shank drill bit.
