Chicago-latrobe 50324 Taper Length Drill Bit 0.1110 in

Product Description

The CHICAGO-LATROBE 50324 is a taper length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and ferrous materials. It measures 0.1110 inches in diameter and features a 118-degree standard point angle, making it well-suited for initiating clean, accurate holes without a center punch in most shop conditions. The bit is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide finish that provides basic surface protection. A web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust at the point and improves chip clearance. This bit is sold individually and is intended for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working with drill presses or hand-held power tools.

This drill bit is appropriate for drilling alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron in both production and maintenance environments. The taper length body, longer than a jobber-length bit, provides additional reach for applications where standard-length bits fall short. The straight shank fits standard drill chucks across a wide range of drill presses and portable electric drills. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips effectively during through-hole and blind-hole operations in ferrous stock.

Key Features

• 0.1110 inch diameter with tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches for accurate hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip reduces entry thrust
• High speed steel construction handles alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron
• Oxide finish provides corrosion and wear resistance during service
• Taper length body at 5.125 inches overall with 2.75-inch flute length extends reach beyond jobber length
• Right-hand, regular spiral flutes promote consistent chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length replacement or stock drill bit for use in standard straight-shank drill chucks on drill presses and portable power drills. Suitable for drilling alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron per manufacturer specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with rotating cutting tools. Always power down and lock out the drill press or tool before changing bits. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent movement. Inspect the cutting edges and shank for damage before each use; a damaged bit should be replaced rather than reused.
