Chicago-Latrobe 53166 Taper Shank Drill Bit
This Chicago-Latrobe 53166 drill bit is a high-speed steel cutting tool with a black oxide finish. It features a 118-degree conventional point angle and a taper shank design. The bit is built for general-purpose drilling tasks in a workshop or industrial setting. It arrives in new condition ready for immediate use.
Suited for standard taper-shank holders
This bit fits machines and holders that accept a taper shank. It is not for users whose equipment requires a straight shank or a different shank standard. Buyers needing a different drill diameter or point geometry should look at other options. The 118-degree point suits common materials but not specialised high-performance drilling.
1 1/32 inch drill diameter decides fit
The 1 1/32 in size determines whether this bit matches the hole you must produce. Verify the required diameter against your drawings or existing hardware before ordering. The 53166 model number confirms the exact variant from the manufacturer. No other specification overrides this primary dimension.

Questions about this item
How quickly does the 118-degree conventional point wear when drilling steel all day?
The 118-degree conventional point is designed for general-purpose drilling; high-speed steel with black-oxide finish resists wear during sustained use, but actual life depends on material hardness and cutting speed.
Does the black-oxide coating keep the bit cool enough for continuous operation?
Black oxide reduces friction and helps dissipate heat, yet the bit will still warm under non-stop drilling; use cutting fluid and allow cooling intervals to prevent overheating.
What taper-shank holder or machine spindle is required for the 1 1/32 in size?
The bit uses a standard taper shank matching its 1 1/32 in diameter; it fits Morse-taper sockets or drill-press spindles made for that shank size.
