It features a 7\/8 inch cutting diameter paired with a 1\/2 inch Weldon shank, allowing it to fit standard 1\/2 inch drill chucks while delivering a larger bore diameter. The 118-degree split point promotes accurate starting and reduces walking on entry. Built from high speed steel with a coated finish, the bit handles general-purpose drilling across a broad range of workpiece materials. Tradespeople and maintenance technicians reach for this bit when an oversize hole is needed without switching to a larger chuck capacity tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 52456 is suited for portable drilling setups in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. Its reduced shank design makes it especially practical on job sites where a 1\/2 inch chuck drill is the available tool but a hole larger than 1\/2 inch is required. Primary workpiece material is wood, with secondary compatibility covering alloy steel, carbon steel, and cast iron. The right-hand spiral flute configuration clears chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7\/8 inch cutting diameter with 1\/2 inch Weldon shank for use in standard 1\/2 inch chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree split point for accurate, low-thrust starting on metal and wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across general-purpose applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoated finish to extend cutting life and reduce friction during drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute Weldon shank with 3 flats prevents slipping in the chuck under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flutes promote efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in portable drilling applications with 1\/2 inch chuck capacity equipment.

Secure the Weldon shank firmly in the chuck, engaging all three flats to prevent rotation under torque. Ensure the workpiece is properly clamped or fixtured before drilling. Power down the tool completely before changing or inspecting the bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inch (0.8750 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 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\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Weldon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\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\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\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0012 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Carbon Steel, Cast Iron, Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Portable Drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 190F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 52456\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51733201158450,"sku":"52456","price":71.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2a09e90d707075c064bf08301be23d2c_67494093-1f66-4564-8481-c5e7ff947ed1.jpg?v=1788752707","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-52456-reduced-shank-drill-bit-7-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
