Built from high speed steel with an oxide finish, this bit features a 0.875-inch diameter, a 118-degree standard point angle, and a Morse taper shank sized 3MT for secure chuck engagement. Web-thinned construction reduces thrust and helps the bit cut more efficiently. At 10.75 inches overall length with a 6.125-inch spiral flute, it suits deep-hole applications where a straight-shank bit would fall short. Licensed tradespeople and machinists working with drill presses or milling equipment will find this a reliable stock item.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 53156 is built for production and maintenance shops where consistent, repeatable hole quality is required. Its right-hand cutting direction and regular spiral flute handle a wide range of workpiece materials encountered in fabrication, HVAC equipment manufacturing, plumbing rough-in, and general metalworking. The 3MT shank fits standard Morse taper sockets and sleeves commonly found on drill presses, lathes, and milling machines, making it straightforward to swap in without additional adapters in most shop setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.875-inch (7\/8 in) drill diameter with tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0012 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3MT Morse taper shank for positive, slip-free chuck engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced thrust on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with oxide finish for wear and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10.75-inch overall length and 6.125-inch flute length for deep-hole reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, regular spiral flute — general-purpose across common workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with any drill press, lathe, or milling machine equipped with a No. 3 Morse taper socket or sleeve.

Always power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing the bit from the taper socket. Ensure the taper surfaces are clean and free of chips or burrs before inserting the shank to prevent fretting and runout. Use the appropriate drift key and a dead-blow mallet for removal — never strike the bit directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches (7\/8 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Taper Designation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3MT\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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: Oxide\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 -0.0012 inches\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\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: 53156\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51747609018674,"sku":"53156","price":111.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1a5f631117d7387c1919e6c3acb2fd28_29bc6e1e-6a1c-4335-ac14-d9b236387c56.jpg?v=1788883369","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-53156-taper-shank-drill-bit-0-875-in-3mt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
