Chicago-Latrobe 53460 Drill Bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 53460 is a silver and deming drill bit designed for general-purpose metalworking tasks. It suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need a reliable cutting tool for drilling larger holes in various materials. The reduced shank allows compatibility with standard 1/2 inch drill chucks. This new accessory arrives ready for immediate workshop use.
15/16 Inch Capacity and Cobalt Construction
The 15/16 inch drill bit size handles medium-to-large diameter hole requirements in steel, iron, and other ferrous metals. Its machining cobalt material provides hardness and heat resistance for extended tool life during repetitive drilling. The straw bronze finish helps identify the bit and offers some corrosion protection. Performance limits appear when drilling extremely hard alloys or very deep holes without adequate cooling.
118 Degree Point Angle Geometry
The 118 degree point angle is the critical specification determining this bit's cutting behaviour and material suitability. This standard angle centres easily on flat surfaces and works well across a broad range of ferrous metals. It does not self-centre as aggressively as split-point designs on curved or hardened surfaces. Buyers needing faster penetration in stainless steel or precise starting on rounded stock should select a different point geometry.

Questions about this item
Will the 15/16 in 118 Degree Drill Bit fit a 1/2 in chuck on my older drill press?
Yes, the 53460 has a 1/2 reduced shank that fits standard 1/2 in chucks on older drill presses and handheld drills.
How can I confirm the 118 degree point angle is cutting correctly after I install the bit?
The 118 degree point should centre itself quickly in steel and produce even, straw-coloured chips without walking or excessive heat.
Does the 53460 come with a case or lubricant, or must I buy those separately?
The bit ships as a single 15/16 in cobalt drill; no case, cutting fluid or additional accessories are included.
