The Chicago-Latrobe 53120 is a high-speed steel drill bit designed for machines fitted with a number one Morse taper spindle. Its black oxide finish adds wear resistance for general-purpose metal drilling in maintenance and fabrication shops.
5/16 inch diameter with 118-degree point
This bit cuts a 5/16 inch hole using a conventional 118-degree point angle suited for steel and cast iron. It will not fit spindles requiring a different Morse taper number or a straight shank.

Questions about this item
What does the 118-degree point angle mean when I start drilling?
The 118-degree point is a conventional geometry that centres itself quickly in steel and cast iron, giving a clean entry without a pilot hole.
How does the #1 Morse taper shank limit the machines I can use?
The #1 Morse taper fits directly into a matching #1 MT socket on drill presses or tailstocks; it will not seat in larger or smaller tapers without an adapter.
