Chicago-latrobe 46007 Jobber Drill Bit 7/64 in Hss

Product Description

The CHICAGO-LATROBE 46007 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in steel and similar materials. Part of the Series 150B lineup, it measures 7/64 inch (0.1094 inch decimal) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and a fast spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation. The bright, uncoated high speed steel construction handles everyday production and maintenance drilling. This bit suits licensed tradespeople and shop technicians who need a reliable, consistent-cutting drill for ferrous metals and general fabrication work.

The 46007 is suited for drilling in steel and comparable workpiece materials across residential and light commercial applications. Its 2-5/8 inch overall length and 1-1/2 inch flute length make it a standard choice for bench drilling, hand-drill operations, and drill press work in HVAC fabrication, plumbing rough-in, electrical panel work, and general mechanical assembly. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard keyed and keyless chucks without adapters.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction rated for general-purpose drilling in steel
• 118-degree standard point angle for consistent entry on flat and curved surfaces
• Fast spiral flute promotes rapid chip removal and reduces heat buildup
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust and improves cutting efficiency
• Bright uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection of wear and edge condition
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw chucks on drills and drill presses

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock drill bit for any standard keyed or keyless chuck accepting a 7/64 inch straight-cylindrical shank, consistent with Series 150B jobber-length tooling.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only with the drill unpowered and the chuck fully released. Secure the shank completely within the chuck jaws before tightening to prevent runout or slippage during use. For drilling steel, use appropriate cutting fluid to extend edge life and reduce thermal stress. Follow shop safety practices and applicable OSHA standards for rotating tooling.
