Chicago-Latrobe 53122 Taper Shank Drill Bit
This Chicago-Latrobe 53122 drill bit features an 11/32 in diameter and a 118-degree conventional point angle. It is manufactured from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish for general-purpose drilling applications. The taper shank design suits machine tool holders requiring this specific mounting style.
Installing the taper shank correctly
Insert the taper shank firmly into a matching taper socket or sleeve until it seats securely. Ensure the socket interior is clean and free of chips or damage to prevent runout. A loose or contaminated fit causes vibration, premature wear, and potential ejection during operation.
Check your machine taper compatibility
Verify that your drill press, lathe, or milling machine accepts the taper size corresponding to this bit before ordering. Confirm the workpiece material is suitable for high-speed steel tooling at the speeds available on your equipment. This bit is not for use with straight-shank collets or chucks without a proper taper adapter.
