Chicago-Latrobe 53126 Drill Bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 53126 is a taper shank drill bit sized at 13/32 in with a 118 degree point angle. It is made from high speed steel with a black oxide finish and features a conventional point design for general purpose drilling applications.
Taper Shank and Material Benefits
The taper shank provides a secure, self-holding fit in compatible machine spindles without requiring a separate chuck. High speed steel construction maintains cutting hardness at elevated temperatures while the black oxide finish adds corrosion resistance and reduces chip welding during operation.
Suited for Machine-Based Drilling
This bit suits workshops and maintenance teams using drill presses or lathes equipped to accept taper shank tooling. It is not for users needing hex shank bits for handheld cordless drills, builders requiring carbide tips for abrasive materials, or buyers looking for split-point geometry to reduce walking on hard surfaces.

Questions about this item
When will the 13/32 in high-speed steel bit need resharpening or replacement?
Resharpen the 118-degree conventional point when drilling force increases or hole quality drops; replace the bit once the flute length is too short for the required depth.
What limit appears first during continuous drilling with this taper shank bit?
Heat buildup at the 118-degree point softens the high-speed steel, causing rapid edge wear before the black-oxide coating or taper shank shows any distress.
How much heat and noise does the 13/32 in bit generate in all-day use?
Expect noticeable heat at the cutting edges and standard high-speed steel drilling noise; the black-oxide finish helps dissipate heat but does not eliminate it.
