Five-piece reduced-shank drill bit set
The Chicago-Latrobe 56340 set contains five high-speed steel drill bits with a reduced shank design. Each bit features a conventional 118-degree point angle and right-hand cutting direction. A black oxide finish adds surface protection during use. The set is identified by list number 2395 and suits general-purpose drilling tasks.
Practical limits of the 118-degree conventional
The standard point geometry works well in mild steel, aluminium and wood but can wander on hardened materials without a pilot hole. Reduced shanks allow use in smaller chucks yet limit the maximum flute length available for deep holes. High-speed steel dulls faster than cobalt or carbide when drilling abrasive alloys. Black oxide coating reduces friction but does not eliminate the need for cutting fluid in sustained operations.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 5-piece set with list number 2395 or a larger kit?
The 5-piece reduced shank set covers the most common drilling tasks; add more bits only if you need sizes outside this range.
What does the 118-degree point angle do in my drill press?
The 118-degree conventional point centres quickly in steel and wood, giving clean starts without a pilot hole.
