Chicago-Latrobe 55458 Silver/Deming Drill Bit
This Chicago-Latrobe Silver/Deming drill bit is designed for metalworking applications where a large-diameter hole is required with a standard chuck. It suits machinists, maintenance technicians and fabrication shops that need a reliable high-speed steel cutting tool for drilling steel and similar alloys. The 118-degree point angle provides general-purpose performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The black oxide finish helps reduce friction and resist corrosion during use.
29/32 inch reduced-shank diameter decides fit
The 29/32 inch cutting diameter combined with a reduced shank allows this bit to be held in a smaller drill chuck than the hole size would normally permit. This specification is the critical factor for compatibility; if your chuck capacity or hole-size requirement differs, this bit will not suit the job. Buyers who need a different cutting diameter or a straight-shank bit that matches the hole size should select an alternative. The high-speed steel construction and 118-degree point are fixed characteristics of this model.

Questions about this item
What does the 29/32 inch size mean when the bit is mounted in a drill?
The 29/32 inch diameter is the cutting width; the reduced shank fits standard 1/2 inch chucks so the full diameter can be used on larger drills.
How does the 118 degree point angle affect drilling performance?
The 118 degree point is a general-purpose geometry that centres quickly in mild steel and wood without needing a pilot hole.
