Chicago-Latrobe 53137 Taper Shank Drill Bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 53137 is a general purpose taper shank drill bit designed for drilling holes in a variety of materials. It features a conventional 118 degree point angle and is constructed from High Speed Steel with a black oxide finish for durability.
Suited for machinists
This bit suits machinists and maintenance personnel who require a 37/64 inch diameter drill with a taper shank for use in compatible tool holders. It is not intended for buyers who need a straight shank for standard drill chucks or those requiring a different point angle for specialised materials.
Verify your equipment accepts a taper shank before
Before ordering, confirm that your drilling machine or tool holder is designed to accept a taper shank bit. Ensure the 118 degree point angle matches the requirements of your specific application and workpiece material.

Questions about this item
What taper-shank drill press or lathe do I need to accept the 37/64 in 53137 bit?
The 53137 bit uses a standard Morse taper shank; match the taper number marked on your machine's spindle to the bit's taper size before use.
Will the 118-degree point on this 37/64 in bit cut cleanly in the mild steel I usually drill with older cobalt bits?
Yes, the 118-degree conventional point on this high-speed steel bit is designed for general-purpose drilling in mild steel and similar materials.
How can I confirm the 53137 bit is cutting correctly once installed in my drill press?
Check for smooth, continuous chips, steady feed pressure without chatter, and a hole diameter that matches the 37/64 in specification.
