Chicago-Latrobe 55492 Silver & Deming Drill
This Chicago-Latrobe drill bit is a Silver & Deming style cutter designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood and plastic. It suits machinists, maintenance technicians and serious DIY users who need a large-diameter hole with a standard 1/2 inch reduced shank. The high-speed steel construction handles routine workshop tasks.
118-degree point angle for broad material
The 118-degree point angle is the critical specification that determines how the bit engages the workpiece. This conventional angle centres easily without a pilot hole and cuts cleanly in mild steel, aluminium, cast iron and non-ferrous metals. It is less aggressive than a split-point design but more forgiving on portable drills.
1/2 inch reduced shank fits standard drill chucks
The reduced shank allows the 1 7/16 inch cutting diameter to be used in any drill with a 1/2 inch chuck capacity, freeing the operator from needing a larger drill press or a Morse taper adapter. Black oxide finish adds lubricity and corrosion resistance during extended use. High-speed steel body resists heat build-up in handheld applications.

Questions about this item
What does the 118-degree point angle mean when I put this bit in my drill?
The 118-degree point angle gives a general-purpose cutting profile that starts cleanly in steel and other common metals without needing a pilot hole.
How does the 1/2 reduced shank work with my drill chuck?
The shank is turned down to 1/2 inch so it fits any standard 1/2-inch chuck while the cutting diameter remains 1 7/16 inch.
What clearance do I need for the 1 7/16-inch cutting diameter?
The fluted body measures 1 7/16 inch across, so the workpiece and any guide must accommodate that full width.
