Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it features a 118-degree standard point angle and a fast spiral flute configuration for efficient chip evacuation. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces the force needed to start and advance the cut. At 6 inches overall length with a 4.5-inch flute length, this is a standard jobber-length tool suitable for use in handheld drills, drill presses, and CNC or manual machine tool setups. Licensed tradespeople and machinists reach for this bit when they need a reliable, everyday cutting tool for ferrous metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 46032 is a Series 150B bit sized at 0.500 inches in diameter with a straight cylindrical shank of matching 0.500-inch diameter and 1.5-inch shank length. It is appropriate for drilling mild steel, structural steel, and similar ferrous workpieces in fabrication, maintenance, and mechanical contracting applications. The right-hand spiral cut and two-flute geometry make it compatible with standard drill chucks and collets in both portable and stationary setups. The diameter tolerance of -0.0010 to 0.0000 inches ensures predictable hole sizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability in ferrous metal applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for easier penetration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast spiral, two-flute design promotes effective chip clearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect tolerances on precision holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance of -0.0010 to 0.0000 inches for consistent hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck or collet accepting a 0.500-inch straight cylindrical shank, including handheld power drills, drill presses, lathes, and milling machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall and remove drill bits only when the tool is powered down and the chuck is fully secured. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling steel to extend bit life and maintain hole quality. Ensure the workpiece is properly clamped before beginning any drilling operation. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or damage before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is evident.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 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)\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\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright \/ Uncoated\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\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.191 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: 46032\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51744493830450,"sku":"46032","price":127.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c21209e86231ac86778d8aca1bc72bab.jpg?v=1788857345","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-46032-jobber-drill-bit-1-2-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
