Chicago-Latrobe 53163 Taper Shank Drill
This Chicago-Latrobe 53163 taper shank drill bit measures 63/64 in and features a #3 Morse taper for direct machine mounting. The high speed steel construction with black oxide finish resists wear during general-purpose drilling. A 118-degree conventional point provides reliable centering and chip evacuation in steel and cast iron. It suits maintenance and production environments requiring a secure taper fit.
Users Who Need Different Shank Types
This drill bit uses a #3 Morse taper shank, so it will not fit tools that accept only straight round shanks or other taper sizes. Buyers who need a straight shank for a three-jaw chuck or a smaller taper for lighter machines cannot use this item. The fixed 63/64 in diameter does not suit jobs requiring a different hole size. It is not intended for applications needing split-point geometry or specialised coatings beyond black oxide.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 63/64 in drill bit or a different size for my #3 Morse taper holder?

How does the 118-degree point angle perform when drilling steel on a shop floor?
The 118-degree conventional point on high-speed steel with black oxide coating gives reliable centring and chip evacuation in general-purpose steel drilling.
