Chicago-Latrobe 53141 Taper Shank Drill
The Chicago-Latrobe 53141 is a high-speed steel drill bit with a 118-degree conventional point and black oxide finish. It uses a taper shank for direct fit into compatible machine spindles or sleeves. The 41/64 inch diameter suits general-purpose drilling in metal and other materials. This new tool is aimed at machinists and maintenance technicians needing a single replacement bit.
Replaces worn or broken taper shank bits
This bit replaces a dull or damaged taper shank drill of the same 41/64 inch size and 118-degree point angle. The upgrade is worth it when the old bit no longer cuts cleanly or holds centre accurately. Black oxide coating adds lubricity and corrosion resistance compared with uncoated high-speed steel. It restores standard drilling performance on a press or lathe without changing tooling.
Check spindle taper and workpiece material
Verify that your machine spindle or drill sleeve accepts the taper shank on this bit before ordering. Confirm the 41/64 inch diameter matches the hole size required for the job. The 118-degree point is intended for general-purpose work; harder alloys or deep-hole drilling may need a different point geometry. Ensure adequate coolant or lubrication is available for the material being drilled.

Questions about this item
What taper shank size does the 53141 drill bit need to fit my drill press?
The 53141 bit has a standard Morse taper shank; match it to your machine's Morse taper number for a secure fit.
How do I seat the 53141 taper shank correctly so it will not spin?
Clean the spindle and shank, insert the 53141 bit, then tap it firmly with a soft hammer to lock the Morse taper before tightening the drawbar.
When should I replace the 53141 bit or have it resharpened?
Resharpen the 118-degree conventional point when cutting edges dull or chip; replace the high-speed steel bit if the shank wears or the flute cracks.
