Chicago-latrobe 50332 Taper Length Drill Bit 0.0935 in

Product Description

The CHICAGO-LATROBE 50332 is a taper length, straight-shank twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in ferrous metals and alloy materials. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a coated finish, it measures 0.0935 inches in diameter, equivalent to wire gauge size 42, with an overall length of 4.25 inches. The 118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of production and maintenance drilling applications. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation. Right-hand spiral flute geometry moves chips efficiently out of the hole. This bit is sized and configured for use by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and tool-room technicians.

The 50332 is intended for drilling alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron in light manufacturing, job shop, and industrial maintenance environments. Its 2.25-inch flute length and 4.25-inch overall length provide the extra reach typical of taper length geometry compared to jobber-length bits, making it useful where standard-length bits cannot access the full depth of a hole. The straight shank seats directly into standard drill chucks without adapters. Series 120 construction reflects a general-purpose HSS specification suited to moderate-speed, moderate-feed drilling operations.

Key Features

• Wire size 42 diameter: 0.0935 inches with a tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches
• High speed steel construction with coated finish for improved wear resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling in steel and cast iron
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces drilling thrust and aids chip clearance
• Taper length body at 4.25 inches overall provides extended reach beyond standard jobber bits
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular helix for consistent chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed for drilling alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron. Compatible with any standard drill chuck or machine spindle accepting a 0.0935-inch straight shank. Suitable for drill presses, CNC drilling machines, and hand-held power drills used in general machining and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify runout is within acceptable limits for precision hole work. Match spindle speed and feed rate to the workpiece material per standard machining charts for HSS tooling. Ensure the workpiece is properly clamped or fixtured before drilling to prevent movement. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point geometry is compromised.
