Chicago-Latrobe 55471 Reduced Shank Drill
This Chicago-Latrobe 55471 drill bit features a 118 degree point angle and a 1/2 reduced shank. It is made from high speed steel with a black oxide finish. The tool is designed for general purpose drilling in metal. It suits professionals and DIY users needing a durable Silver & Deming bit.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
This bit suits machinists and maintenance technicians drilling larger holes with a 1/2 inch chuck. It is not for buyers who need a standard straight shank for smaller chucks. It is not for users requiring a split point or self-centering tip for precision starts. It does not suit applications needing cobalt or carbide material for harder alloys.
The specification that decides fit
The 118 degree point angle determines suitability for general metal drilling. The 1/2 reduced shank dictates chuck compatibility for larger diameters. The high speed steel construction defines wear resistance in standard ferrous materials. Verify your chuck capacity and material requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item
Will the 1/2 reduced shank on the 55471 fit the chuck of my older 1/2-inch drill press?
Yes, the 1/2 reduced shank is designed to fit standard 1/2-inch chucks found on older drill presses and hand drills.
How can I verify the 118-degree point angle is cutting correctly after installing the bit?
The bit should produce clean, consistent chips and a straight hole without walking when starting on steel.
Does the 55471 come with a case or just the single high-speed steel drill bit?
The product is supplied as a single reduced shank drill bit with a black oxide finish; no case or additional accessories are included.
