Chicago-Latrobe 70208 Jobber Drill Bit
This Chicago-Latrobe 70208 drill bit is a general-purpose cutting tool made from high-speed steel with a titanium nitride coating. Its 118-degree conventional point suits a wide range of common drilling tasks in metal, wood, and plastic. The jobber length provides standard reach for typical workshop and maintenance applications. The fractional 1/8-inch size matches the decimal equivalent 0.1250 for precise specification.
Ideal for general maintenance and workshop drilling
Machinists and technicians needing a reliable bit for standard materials will find this tool fits routine jobs. The TiN coating extends wear life during repetitive use across mixed workpieces. Buyers who require coolant-through capability for deep-hole drilling or specialised point geometries for hardened alloys should look at different designs. This bit has no coolant holes and a standard conventional point only.
118-degree conventional point angle defines
The 118-degree point angle is the primary specification determining this bit's suitability for general-purpose work rather than specialised high-performance drilling. It centres easily without a pilot hole in softer materials but may walk on hardened surfaces. The high-speed steel substrate with TiN coating supports standard cutting speeds for ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Select this bit when the job calls for a conventional 118-degree geometry.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 118 degree point generate during extended drilling?
The 118 degree conventional point is designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic, distributing cutting forces to manage heat buildup during continuous use.
What shank size must my drill chuck accept for the 70208 bit?
The jobber length bit has a 1/8 inch shank that fits standard three-jaw chucks rated for that diameter or larger.
Will the TiN coating on this bit wear faster when used with older high-speed steel drill presses?
The TiN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction, so it maintains edge life on older machines just as well as on newer ones.
