Chicago-latrobe 44350 Jobber Length Drill Bit Size 80 Hss

Product Description

The CHICAGO-LATROBE 44350 is a wire gauge size 80 jobber length drill bit manufactured from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish. It measures 0.0135 inches in diameter and 3/4 inches in overall length, with a 1/8-inch flute length and a straight-cylindrical shank. The 118-degree standard point angle and regular spiral flutes are suited to general-purpose drilling in non-ferrous metals and similar materials. This is a two-flute, right-hand-cut bit with a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that aids chip evacuation in small-diameter work. Licensed trades and machining professionals typically stock this size for precision drilling tasks that require tight diameter tolerances.

The 44350 is designed for general-purpose drilling applications in non-ferrous metal workpieces where a small wire gauge diameter is required. Its 3/4-inch overall length and 0.6250-inch shank length make it appropriate for close-tolerance work in tight access areas. The Series 150D designation and DIN 338 standard confirm this bit meets recognized dimensional and performance criteria for jobber length tooling. It is commonly used in light machining, electrical, HVAC sheet metal, and plumbing rough-in work where fine pilot holes or small-diameter through-holes are needed.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber length drill bit suitable for use in standard drill chucks accepting straight-cylindrical shanks of 0.0135 inches in diameter; intended for drilling non-ferrous metals and similar materials in general-purpose applications.

Installation Notes

Install into a compatible drill chuck and secure firmly before use. Always power down or de-energize any associated equipment before drilling into live panels or assemblies. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection when operating drill bits of this size. Small-diameter wire gauge bits are fragile and should be run at manufacturer-recommended speeds for the workpiece material to prevent breakage.
