Product Identity
The Chicago-Latrobe 55119 is a screw-machine drill bit with a 27/64 inch diameter and a 118-degree conventional point. It is made from high-speed steel with a titanium nitride coating for general-purpose drilling in metalworking applications.
Setup Compatibility
Verify that your drill chuck or tool holder accommodates a 0.4219 inch decimal equivalent shank. Confirm the machine spindle rotates in a right-hand cutting direction and that coolant-through capability is not required for your operation.
Build and Daily Use
The high-speed steel substrate with TiN coating resists wear during repetitive holemaking. The non-coolant-through design suits standard external lubrication routines, while the conventional point geometry provides reliable centring on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Questions about this item
Does the 55119 drill bit come in a set or do I need to buy a case separately?
The 55119 is sold as a single 27/64 inch screw machine drill bit; no case or additional bits are included.
When should I choose the 27/64 inch size over another diameter?
Choose the 27/64 inch bit when the job requires a .4219 inch hole; match the diameter to the fastener or pilot specification.
How does the 118 degree point angle affect drilling in steel?
The 118 degree conventional point centres quickly in steel and works well for general-purpose drilling with the high-speed steel TiN tip.
