Chicago-latrobe 50335 Taper Length Drill Bit 0.0820 in

Product Description

The CHICAGO-LATROBE 50335 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for production drilling in metal fabrication, machining, and general industrial applications. Built from high speed steel with a coated finish, it features a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust during entry and improves chip evacuation. The bit measures 0.0820 inches in diameter - wire gauge size 45 - with a right-hand spiral flute and a straight shank. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians install this bit in drill presses, lathes, and hand drills for through-hole and deep-hole work in ferrous metals.

This bit is suited for drilling alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron in both shop and field environments. The taper length body - longer than a jobber-length bit - provides additional reach for applications where standard-length bits fall short, such as deep-hole drilling through thick stock or reaching into recessed fixtures. The 0.0820-inch diameter is a common wire gauge size frequently required in precision metalworking, toolmaking, and light industrial maintenance.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for durability in ferrous metal drilling
• Coated finish for improved wear resistance and reduced friction
• 118-degree standard point angle suitable for general-purpose drilling
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces entry thrust and improves hole quality
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular spiral type for consistent chip removal
• Straight shank at 0.0820 inches diameter fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose taper length drill bit for use in drill presses, CNC machines, lathes, and hand drills that accept straight shank bits. Rated for drilling alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by licensed machinists and qualified maintenance technicians using standard drill chucks. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify runout before drilling. Disengage power and lock out the machine before changing bits. Follow applicable shop safety standards and manufacturer feed and speed recommendations for the workpiece material.
