Chicago-Latrobe 53134 Taper Shank Drill Bit
This Chicago-Latrobe 53134 drill bit is a high-speed steel cutting tool with a black oxide finish. It features a 17/32 in diameter and a conventional 118 degree point angle. The taper shank design allows for direct mounting into compatible machine spindles or sleeves. It is built for general-purpose drilling tasks in a workshop or industrial setting.
Suited for machinists drilling 17/32 in holes
This bit suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need a 17/32 in high-speed steel drill with a taper shank for general-purpose metalwork. The 118 degree point handles common ferrous and non-ferrous materials effectively. Buyers requiring a different diameter, a split point for self-centering, or a straight shank for hand-held drill chucks should look at other options. Coated or carbide alternatives are not this product.
The 17/32 in diameter and taper shank decide fit
The single specification that determines whether this is the correct part is the 17/32 in drill bit size combined with the taper shank style. Your machine spindle or drill sleeve must accept this specific taper size for the bit to seat and drive properly. Verify the required diameter and shank type against your equipment specifications before ordering.

Questions about this item
What does the 17/32 inch size mean when the bit is chucked in a drill?
The 17/32 inch size is the cutting diameter, so the hole produced will measure that width across the centre.
How does the taper shank interface limit what machines can hold this bit?
The taper shank fits only spindles or sockets with a matching Morse taper; it cannot be clamped in a standard three-jaw chuck.
What clearance is needed to mount the 17/32 inch bit in a drill press?
The shank requires a Morse taper socket in the spindle; the overall length of the bit determines the minimum quill travel needed.
