It carries a wire gauge size of 55, corresponding to a decimal diameter of 0.0520 inches, and features a standard 118-degree split point with web thinning for accurate positioning and reduced walking on entry. The straight shank and spiral flute design allow efficient chip evacuation during through-hole and blind-hole operations. At 3 inches overall length with a 1-3\/4-inch flute, this bit suits applications where a standard jobber length would be too short for reach but a full extra-length bit is unnecessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for general-purpose use in alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron workpieces. The taper length format makes it a common choice for tool and die work, maintenance shops, and production environments where a moderate increase in reach over a jobber-length bit is required. Right-hand cut with a regular spiral type, it is compatible with standard drill presses, hand drills, and CNC spindles accepting straight-shank tooling. It is sold individually and requires a minimum order quantity of 12 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire size 55 with 0.0520-inch decimal diameter and tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point with web thinning for reduced thrust and improved centering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for general-purpose metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaper length body at 3 inches OAL with 1-3\/4-inch flute length for extended reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, spiral flute, straight shank for broad machine compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoated finish to aid in heat resistance and chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or production bit for use in alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron drilling applications where a wire-gauge taper length drill is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians using standard drill chucks or collets sized for straight-shank tooling. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify runout before operation. Always use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain hole tolerance. Power down and de-energize the machine before changing tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0520 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0520 inches (1.32 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight, Non-Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Carbon Steel, Cast Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 120\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0018 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CHICAGO-LATROBE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50345\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731870908722,"sku":"50345","price":92.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2b7ff98ae0af2d2cc815c2d57a125307.jpg?v=1788735869","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-50345-taper-length-drill-bit-0-052-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
