Chicago-Latrobe 70212 Jobber Drill Bit
The Chicago-Latrobe 70212 is a general-purpose jobber length drill bit designed for everyday drilling tasks. It suits trade professionals and DIY users who need a reliable High Speed Steel bit for common materials. The 118 degree conventional point offers versatile starting performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. This fractional size bit is a standard addition to any maintenance or fabrication toolkit.
Verify Chuck Capacity and Material Compatibility
Before ordering, confirm that your drill chuck accepts a 3/16 inch shank diameter, which has a decimal equivalent of .1875. Ensure the workpiece material is suitable for High Speed Steel cutting edges without coolant feed. The bit features zero coolant holes, so it is intended for dry drilling or external lubrication only. Check that your application does not require through-coolant capability for deep hole evacuation.
High Speed Steel Construction with TiN Coating
The bit is manufactured from HAWA High Speed Steel and features a TiN surface treatment for improved wear resistance and reduced friction. The conventional 118 degree point geometry provides consistent centring without a split-point design. Jobber length proportions deliver standard flute length and overall reach for typical through-hole depths. The fractional inch sizing ensures direct compatibility with imperial drill indexes and gauge systems.
