35/64 in cobalt drill bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 53435 is a reduced-shank drill bit sized at 35/64 in with a 118-degree point angle. It is made from machining cobalt and carries a straw-bronze finish. This accessory suits machinists and maintenance crews who need a large-diameter hole in metal using a standard half-inch chuck.
Check chuck capacity and material
Verify that your drill chuck opens to at least half an inch to accept the reduced shank. Confirm the workpiece is a material suited to cobalt tooling such as steel or alloy. The 118-degree point is designed for general-purpose drilling rather than specialised high-performance applications.
Heat resistance and cutting behaviour
Cobalt construction helps the bit resist heat buildup during extended cuts in tough metal. The straw-bronze finish indicates a surface treatment that aids chip evacuation and reduces friction. Expect normal drilling noise and power draw for a large-diameter bit in a handheld or press-mounted drill.

Questions about this item
Does the 35/64 in 118 degree drill bit come alone or with a case or other accessories?
The item is a single reduced-shank drill bit; no case, index or extra accessories are included in the package.
How do I decide between the 35/64 in size and other diameters in the same 118 degree cobalt series?
Choose the 35/64 in bit when the hole must be exactly that diameter; other sizes in the series are for different hole requirements.
What does the 118 degree point angle mean when the bit is used in a drill press or hand drill?
The 118 degree point is a general-purpose geometry that centres easily in steel and other common materials without a pilot hole.
