Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, this bit runs a 118-degree standard point angle suited to a wide range of shop and field drilling tasks. The overall length is 4.25 inches with a flute length of 2.9375 inches, giving it the proportional reach typical of jobber-length tooling. The straight cylindrical shank measures 9\/32 inch in diameter and seats directly into standard drill chucks. HVAC, plumbing, and electrical tradespeople keep jobber-length HSS bits on hand for sheet metal knock-outs, framing penetrations, and panel work where consistent, repeatable hole sizing matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 46018 is suited to light-duty and production drilling in steel, fabricated metal enclosures, and similar workpiece materials on the job site or in the shop. Its 9\/32-inch diameter falls in the 0.2500 to 0.3000 inch decimal range, making it a common size for conduit anchor holes, sheet metal work, and general mechanical assembly. The right-hand spiral flute with a fast spiral configuration promotes efficient chip evacuation in both hand-held and drill-press applications. This bit ships individually and is appropriate wherever a single replacement or stock-up bit is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability in general-purpose steel drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for broad material compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast spiral, right-hand cut flute for efficient chip clearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — no coating buildup to mask wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust at entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without an adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit in the Chicago-Latrobe Series 150B line, compatible with any drill press or hand drill fitted with a standard chuck sized to accept a 9\/32-inch straight cylindrical shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecure the shank fully in the chuck jaws and verify concentricity before drilling. Disconnect or de-energize equipment before drilling into live panels or pressurized assemblies. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel in production settings to extend tool life. Dispose of worn bits per shop safety protocols — HSS bits can retain sharp edges after breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/32 inch (0.2812 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.9375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/32 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.3125 inches\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, Fast Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right 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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\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: 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: -0.0010 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0468 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 46018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51744625295666,"sku":"46018","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1ad9e23b460fd15d41579244b361da41.jpg?v=1788859152","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-46018-jobber-drill-bit-9-32-inch-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
