Chicago-latrobe 44210 5/32 Inch Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The CHICAGO-LATROBE 44210 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in non-ferrous metals and similar materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit runs a standard 118-degree point angle and a right-hand spiral flute configuration. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 5/32 inches in diameter, and the overall length comes in at 3.125 inches with a 2-inch flute length. It follows the Series 150D design and meets DIN 338 standards. Licensed trades and industrial users will find this bit suited for production and field drilling tasks where consistent sizing and general-purpose performance are required.

This drill bit is intended for use in non-ferrous metal applications including aluminum, brass, copper, and similar materials. The jobber-length format provides a practical balance between reach and rigidity, making it a common choice for hand-held drills, drill presses, and CNC setups in light manufacturing, HVAC fabrication, electrical rough-in, and plumbing sheet-metal work. The 5/32-inch diameter targets hole sizes in the 0.1500 to 0.2000 decimal-inch range. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces entry resistance and improves chip evacuation on through-hole drilling tasks.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for durability across general-purpose drilling applications
• 118-degree standard point angle for use in non-ferrous metals
• Bright, uncoated finish — no added coating to chip or delaminate
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral fluting for efficient chip removal
• Web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust and improves bit entry
• Meets DIN 338 dimensional standards for consistent sizing across tooling systems

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in standard 3-jaw chucks, keyed drill chucks, and CNC tool holders accepting a 5/32-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for non-ferrous metal drilling applications across residential and light commercial trade work.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and removed by a licensed technician or trained tradesperson using a standard drill chuck key or keyless chuck system. Secure the shank fully into the chuck before operation and confirm the bit runs true with no visible wobble. When drilling metals, use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant to extend bit life and maintain hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace bits that show chipping, heat discoloration, or dimensional wear.
