Chicago-Latrobe 56332 Drill Bit

This Chicago-Latrobe 56332 reduced shank drill bit has a 1/2 in drill bit size and a 118 degrees point angle. It is made from high speed steel with a black oxide finish. The reduced shank design allows use in chucks with smaller capacities. It suits general-purpose machining tasks in a workshop environment.

Black Oxide High Speed Steel Construction

The high speed steel material provides hardness and heat resistance for drilling metal. The black oxide finish adds lubricity and helps resist corrosion during use. The 118 degree point angle is suited for a wide range of materials. Buyers needing a different point angle or a cobalt alloy for harder steels should look elsewhere.

Highlights

  • Reduced shank fits 1/2 in chucks
  • 118 degree point starts holes cleanly
  • High-speed steel resists wear in metal
  • Black oxide finish reduces friction and heat

Questions about this item

How often will the high-speed steel cutting edges need resharpening on this 56332 bit?

Resharpening frequency depends on the material being drilled and the feed rate used; high-speed steel can be reground many times before the shank becomes the limiting factor.

What is the first limitation that appears when drilling deep holes continuously with the 1/2 inch reduced shank?

Chip evacuation becomes the primary constraint in deep holes, as the reduced shank leaves less flute length for swarf to clear, increasing heat and the risk of binding.
