Chicago-Latrobe 15/32" Jobber Drill Bit
This Chicago-Latrobe jobber drill bit is a high-speed steel cutting tool designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. It suits professional mechanics, maintenance technicians, and serious DIY users who need a reliable fractional-size bit for standard drilling tasks. The bright uncoated finish provides a clean surface for typical workshop applications.
118° Conventional Point for Standard Chucks
The 118-degree conventional point centres easily without a pilot hole and works with any standard three-jaw drill chuck. Its jobber-length flute clears chips efficiently in through-holes and moderate-depth blind holes. Builders needing coolant-through capability or specialised coating for abrasive alloys should select a different bit style.
Highlights
- Jobber length handles deeper holes
- 15/32 inch diameter suits precise fractional sizing
- 118 degree point angle starts cleanly in metal
- High-speed steel construction resists wear under load

Questions about this item
How long does the 15/32 in high-speed steel bit stay sharp when drilling steel all day?
The 118-degree conventional point on high-speed steel resists wear in mild steel, but the bright uncoated finish means cutting edges will dull faster than coated bits under continuous heavy feed.
Does the 15/32 in drill bit get too hot to touch during extended use?
Without coolant-through channels the 118-degree point relies on external lubrication; in sustained drilling the shank and flutes will become hot, so use cutting fluid and allow cooling pauses.
