Chicago-latrobe 49918 Hss Drill Bit Set 26 Pc Letter A-z

Product Description

The CHICAGO-LATROBE 49918 is a 26-piece jobber length drill bit set covering the full letter series from A through Z. Each bit is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish and a standard 118-degree point angle. The straight shank design is compatible with standard drill chucks across a wide range of drill presses and handheld power drills. This set belongs to the Series 150D product line and is sized for inch-system metalworking applications. Licensed machinists, millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and general tradespeople are the primary installers and users of this type of tooling.

This set is designed for general-purpose metalworking and multipurpose drilling applications in both shop and field environments. The letter-series range (A through Z) covers common tap clearance and close-tolerance hole sizes used in machining, fabrication, and maintenance work. The 26 included jobber length drills are stored in a metal or plastic case for organized access on the job. Right-hand cutting direction makes these bits compatible with standard drill rotation on virtually all drill equipment.

Installation Notes

Drill bit sets of this type are installed and used by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and trade professionals working with standard drill presses or handheld electric drills. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is securely clamped before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid for harder metals to extend bit life and maintain hole accuracy. Inspect bits for wear or damage before each use and replace any bit that shows chipping at the cutting edge.
