Chicago-latrobe 50337 Taper Length Drill Bit 0.0785 in

Product Description

The CHICAGO-LATROBE 50337 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in ferrous metals and similar materials. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a coated finish, it measures 0.0785 inches in diameter, corresponding to wire size 47. The 118-degree standard point angle and web-thinned, tapered web configuration support accurate entry and efficient chip evacuation. Right-hand spiral flute geometry suits conventional drilling operations on drill presses and hand drills. Licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworking tradespeople are the primary users of this bit.

This drill bit is suited for drilling alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron in light industrial, maintenance, and fabrication applications. The straight shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters. The taper length body provides additional reach compared to a jobber-length bit, making it useful in situations where clearance or hole depth requires a longer flute. It is sold individually and requires a minimum order of 12 pieces per purchase.
