Built from high speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit measures 11\/16 inch (0.6875 inches) in diameter and carries a 2MT (Morse Taper 2) shank for secure seating in taper-socket spindles and drill press quills. The 118-degree standard point geometry suits a wide range of common drilling applications. The web-thinned construction reduces thrust at entry, making it easier to start and feed through workpieces without excessive pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling in metalworking shops, tool rooms, and industrial maintenance environments. The 2MT shank seats directly in drill presses, lathes, and milling machine spindles equipped with a matching Morse taper socket. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is typically installed and used by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics working with machine tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11\/16 inch (0.6875 inches) diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0012 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2MT Morse Taper shank for direct mounting in compatible taper-socket spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with oxide finish for general-purpose durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned geometry for reduced entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular right-hand spiral flutes measuring 5.375 inches for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9.25 inches overall length suited for reaching moderate drilling depths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines fitted with a No. 2 Morse Taper (2MT) socket.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the taper shank. Clean both the shank and socket bore thoroughly to ensure full taper contact and prevent slipping under load. Use a proper drift and drift slot to remove the bit — never strike the shank directly against the socket to eject it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/16 inch (0.6875 inches)\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\u003eShank Taper Designation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2MT (Morse Taper 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.375 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: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral (Regular 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: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: 110\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.68 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: 53144\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51744499433778,"sku":"53144","price":80.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1a5f631117d7387c1919e6c3acb2fd28_f8145310-c92b-4271-a13a-c6a74f968409.jpg?v=1788857442","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-53144-taper-shank-drill-bit-11-16-in-2mt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
