Built from high speed steel with a coated finish, this bit measures 0.0380 inches in diameter (Wire Size 62) and carries a 118-degree standard point angle. The overall length is 2 inches, with a 0.75-inch spiral flute and a straight shank of equal 0.0380-inch diameter. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust at entry and helps center the bit accurately. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary users of this drill bit size range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for drilling into alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron in both production and maintenance environments. The 0.0380-inch diameter corresponds to Wire Gauge 62, a size commonly used for tight-tolerance through-holes, pilot holes, and precision component work on CNC machines, drill presses, and hand-held power tools. Right-hand spiral flute geometry clears chips efficiently during standard rotational drilling operations. The Series 120 designation places this bit within a general-purpose taper-length family designed for consistent, repeatable results across a range of common shop materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction provides hardness and heat resistance suitable for ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle works across alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces entry thrust and improves hole-start accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoated finish extends tool life by reducing friction and wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight shank with 0.0380-inch diameter fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation during drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose taper length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks and collets accepting straight-shank tooling at 0.0380 inches.

Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck before operation and verify runout is within acceptable tolerance for the application. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety procedures when drilling ferrous metals. Replace the bit if chipping, excessive wear, or diameter tolerance drift is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0380 inches (Wire Size 62)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0380 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0000 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\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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight, Non-Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Carbon Steel, Cast Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\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: 0.1 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: 50352\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731288293682,"sku":"50352","price":102.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/eb6d8200be6d3f78cd0a508078b06e40.jpg?v=1788729284","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-50352-taper-length-drill-bit-0-0380-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
