Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and coated with titanium nitride (TiN), it delivers extended tool life and heat resistance in demanding applications. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and requires less feed pressure at startup, making it well suited for production and maintenance drilling on hard metals. At 3-7\/8 inches overall length with a 2-5\/8 inch flute length, this bit fits standard jobber-length drill chucks and fits the hand of any experienced metalworker or trade technician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is engineered for drilling stainless steel and steel in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The Series 2550 designation marks it as a heavy-duty line built to NAS 907 Type J and DIN 338 standards. Typical applications include HVAC sheet metal fabrication, plumbing rough-in drilling, electrical conduit and enclosure work, and general mechanical assembly where stainless or hardened steel is encountered. The right-hand spiral flute and web-thinned, tapered web geometry promote efficient chip evacuation in deep-hole drilling scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt steel construction for heat and wear resistance in hard-metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTitanium nitride (TiN) coating extends cutting life and reduces friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces thrust force and prevents bit walk on startup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web improves chip clearance and reduces heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand, 2-flute regular spiral design promotes smooth, consistent chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets NAS 907 Type J and DIN 338 standards for dimensional accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard jobber-length drill chucks accepting a 15\/64 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Secure the straight-cylindrical shank fully into the chuck before operation and confirm the chuck is tightened to prevent slippage. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling stainless steel to manage heat and extend bit life. Follow applicable shop safety practices and OSHA guidelines when operating rotary cutting tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/64 inches (0.2344 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-7\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2500 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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral (Regular)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\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-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M42 Grade)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium Nitride (TiN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\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\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAS 907 Type J, DIN 338\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: 54057\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732942258482,"sku":"54057","price":18.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/863b33caedcaac276ecf28bf1c07f770.jpg?v=1788749266","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-54057-cobalt-jobber-drill-bit-15-64-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
