Chicago-Latrobe 53204 Taper Shank Drill
This Chicago-Latrobe 53204 taper shank drill bit is built for general-purpose drilling tasks. It fits machines equipped with a taper shank holder, making it suitable for machinists and maintenance technicians who need reliable hole-making in metalworking applications.
118 Degree Conventional Point Geometry
The 118 degree conventional point angle is designed for standard drilling operations across common materials. High speed steel construction with a black oxide finish helps manage heat and wear during normal use, supporting consistent cutting performance without specialised cooling requirements.
Fits Taper Shank Tool Holders
This bit requires a compatible taper shank holder or machine spindle for secure mounting. The black oxide surface treatment adds corrosion resistance, freeing the operator from frequent tool replacement in typical workshop environments. It is not intended for use with straight shank collets or quick-change systems.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 118 degree taper shank drill into my machine and what is the step people get wrong?
Clean the machine spindle and the drill's taper shank thoroughly before inserting; the step people get wrong is leaving oil or debris on the taper which prevents a secure hold.
What maintenance or replacement will the 53204 high speed steel drill bit need later?
Resharpen the 118 degree conventional point when cutting edges dull; replace the bit once the high speed steel body wears down or the black oxide coating is gone.
What limit shows up first on the 118 degree taper shank drill under sustained use?
Heat buildup at the 118 degree point causes the high speed steel to lose hardness fastest, leading to rapid edge wear before the taper shank or body fails.
