Chicago-latrobe 47244 Jobber Drill Bit 2.05 Mm Hss

Product Description

The CHICAGO-LATROBE 47244 is a jobber length drill bit designed for precision drilling in metal and industrial applications. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, it resists heat and wear during high-cycle production use. The bit measures 2.05 mm (0.0807 inches) in diameter and 49 mm (1.929 inches) overall, with a standard 118-degree point angle suited to general-purpose hole-starting without a center punch in most setups. A web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust force at the cutting tip. This bit is sized for machine shop work, maintenance technicians, and fabricators running drill presses or CNC equipment.

The 47244 is intended for drilling into cast iron and steel in general-purpose manufacturing and maintenance environments. Its straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters. The 24 mm (0.945 inch) spiral flute length and right-hand cut make it compatible with conventional drill press and hand-drill setups. It conforms to DIN 338 standards, placing it within a globally recognized specification for jobber-series twist drills commonly used in production and repair work.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for heat and corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling in steel and cast iron
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting thrust and improves chip clearance
• Regular spiral, two-flute design promotes consistent chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Meets DIN 338 specification for jobber length twist drills

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber length drill bit for use in cast iron and steel. Fits standard drill chucks accepting a 0.0807 inch (2.05 mm) straight shank.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and serviced by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators using drill presses, hand drills, or CNC spindles. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling steel to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edge for wear or chipping before each use and replace bits that show visible damage to avoid workpiece defects.
