The bit is manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish and features a spiral flute configuration with a standard 118-degree point angle. At 0.0820 inches in diameter and 2.125 inches overall length, this is a compact bit suited for precision drilling in tight-tolerance work. The two-flute, web-thinned design reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation in steel and cast iron. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die trades, and HVAC sheet metal technicians are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is built for use in steel and cast iron workpieces, including structural steel, plate stock, and cast components. The left-hand cutting direction makes it especially useful for removing broken fasteners and studs, as reverse-drilling torque can back out a damaged bolt without additional extraction tooling. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks, and the 1.0-inch shank length provides adequate grip in both handheld and bench-drill setups. The Series 150L designation places this bit in a line of general-purpose wire-gauge drill bits intended for production and maintenance environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeft-hand spiral flute cut for broken fastener removal and reverse-drill applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability in steel and cast iron drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry in common metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web design reduces drilling thrust and improves chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish for visual wear monitoring during service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose OEM-style jobber drill bit for use with any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.0820-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Secure the workpiece before drilling and confirm the drill is set to reverse rotation to engage the left-hand cutting edge correctly. Wear appropriate eye protection and use cutting fluid on steel workpieces to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace if chipping or dulling is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0820 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0820 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Left Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0005 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.003 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CHICAGO-LATROBE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 44515\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728035184946,"sku":"44515","price":88.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/16e0f14b31617e33654b544c1855cbe5.jpg?v=1788686656","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-44515-jobber-drill-bit-wire-45-left-hand-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
