Chicago-Latrobe 53149 49/64 in Drill Bit

This Chicago-Latrobe 53149 drill bit has a 49/64 inch diameter and a 118 degree point angle. It features a taper shank for secure mounting in compatible machine spindles. The high speed steel construction with black oxide finish provides durability for general purpose drilling tasks. It suits workshops needing a reliable bit for standard metalworking applications.

Suited for conventional machine drilling.

This bit suits operators running drill presses or lathes that accept taper shank tooling. The 118 degree conventional point handles common ferrous and non-ferrous materials effectively. Builders needing a straight shank for portable drill chucks should look at a different design. Buyers who require a split point or specialised coating for high-performance production runs will not find those features here.

Taper shank requires matching machine spindle

The taper shank is the single specification that decides compatibility. Your machine spindle must accept this specific taper to hold the bit securely and transmit torque accurately. Verify the spindle taper size before purchase, as a mismatch prevents use entirely. No adapter or modification is described for this item.

Questions about this item

Will the 49/64 in 118° taper shank fit the Morse taper socket on my older drill press?

The bit uses a standard taper shank design; match the Morse taper number marked on your press spindle to the bit's shank for a secure fit.

How can I verify the 118° point angle is cutting correctly after installation?

A properly sharpened 118° point produces even, curled chips and a round hole without wandering; measure the finished hole diameter to confirm it matches 49/64 in.

Does the 53149 high-speed steel bit come with a protective case or just the bit itself?

The box contains the single taper shank drill bit; no case, lubricant or additional accessories are included.
