Chicago-Latrobe 70222 Jobber Drill Bit
This 11/32 inch jobber length drill bit suits general purpose drilling in metal and plastic. The 118 degree conventional point angle starts cleanly without a pilot hole. High speed steel construction with a TiN coating resists wear during repeated use.
Fits Standard Chucks and Drill Presses
The fractional inch shank seats securely in any three-jaw chuck sized for 11/32 inch bits. No coolant holes mean the bit runs dry or with external flood coolant. The jobber length clears deep holes without needing a longer specialised bit.
Replaces Worn General Purpose Bits
Upgrade when an existing 11/32 inch bit dulls or chips at the cutting edges. The TiN surface extends life over uncoated high speed steel in the same size. Not for buyers who need coolant-through capability or a split point for harder alloys.

Questions about this item
How deep can the 11/32 in jobber-length flute drill before chip packing becomes the limiting factor?
The jobber-length flute on this 11/32 in bit is designed for standard-depth holes; chip packing typically limits continuous drilling once the flute fills, so periodic withdrawal clears swarf.
Does the TiN-coated high-speed steel bit run hot enough to burn fingertips during all-day drilling in steel?
TiN coating reduces friction and heat buildup, but sustained high-speed drilling in steel will still make the shank too hot to touch without gloves.
Will the 118° conventional point start cleanly in a handheld 3/8 in chuck without a pilot hole?
Yes, the 118° conventional point is self-centring for handheld use in a 3/8 in chuck, though a centre punch mark improves accuracy in hard material.
