Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, it delivers extended tool life in tough, abrasive materials. The 135-degree split point reduces walking at startup and lowers feed force, making it well suited to harder workpiece materials. Overall length is 3-1\/8 inches, with a 2-inch spiral flute and a straight-cylindrical shank. Right-hand cut with a regular spiral and tapered web. This is a heavy-duty Series 2550 tool intended for professional machining and fabrication environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 54034 is designed for drilling stainless steel and steel, where tool hardness and heat resistance matter most. The M42 cobalt grade retains its hardness at elevated cutting temperatures better than standard M2 HSS bits. TiN coating adds surface hardness and reduces friction. Typical applications include fabrication shops, HVAC sheet metal work involving stainless fittings, plumbing, and general metalworking where a No. 24 wire-gauge hole is required. Coolant-through is not supported, so conventional flood or mist coolant applied externally is the appropriate method for sustained production runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt HSS construction for high heat and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTitanium nitride (TiN) coating increases surface hardness and extends tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces thrust force and minimizes bit walking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral and 2-flute design for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned and tapered web configuration for improved cutting geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets DIN 338 and NAS 907 Type J standards for dimensional consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a heavy-duty OEM-style replacement or direct-purchase jobber drill bit for use in standard drill chucks and presses that accept a 0.1520-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the chuck before operation. When drilling stainless steel, use appropriate cutting fluid or external coolant to manage heat buildup and prevent work hardening of the material. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1520 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1520 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.1250 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\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\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42 Cobalt HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium Nitride (TiN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0007 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2550\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIN 338, NAS 907 Type J\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification Designation\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty, High Performance\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: 54034\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753221030194,"sku":"54034","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/600862c5a0f8fee7f513034c4acefa6d.jpg?v=1788934046","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-54034-cobalt-jobber-drill-bit-no-24-wire","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
