Chicago-latrobe 41006 3/32 in Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The CHICAGO-LATROBE 41006 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for production and maintenance drilling in steel and similar materials. Built from M7 high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it features a 135-degree notched point that reduces walking on entry and lowers thrust force at the cutting edge. The parabolic flute geometry clears chips efficiently, reducing heat buildup during extended drilling cycles. At 0.0938 inches (3/32 inch) diameter with a matching straight-cylindrical shank, it fits standard drill chucks without reduction. Licensed HVAC techs, plumbers, and electricians rely on this size for pilot holes, sheet metal, and light structural work.

The 41006 is suited for hand-held and drill-press applications in residential and light commercial trade work. Its web-thinned, tapered web reduces cutting resistance on breakthrough, making it practical for repetitive drilling tasks in steel panel fabrication, conduit support installation, and mechanical equipment mounting. The 2.25-inch overall length fits compact drill chucks and right-angle adapters commonly used in tight mechanical spaces.

Key Features

• M7 high-speed steel construction rated for heavy-duty drilling in steel and ferrous materials
• 135-degree notched split point reduces bit walking and lowers entry thrust
• Parabolic flute profile accelerates chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup
• Web-thinned tapered web decreases cutting resistance at breakthrough
• Bright uncoated finish allows visual wear inspection during service life
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement-grade jobber drill bit for use in standard 3-jaw drill chucks and drill presses accepting straight-cylindrical shanks at 0.0938-inch diameter. Primary workpiece material rating is steel.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this bit with the drill unplugged or the power source locked out. Secure workpieces before drilling to prevent rotation and injury. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hard steel to extend bit life and reduce heat. Follow applicable OSHA and trade safety requirements for rotating tool operation in occupied structures.
