The bit has a 33\/64 inch (0.5156 inch decimal) cutting diameter with a 1\/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank, allowing it to chuck into standard 1\/2 inch drill chucks without requiring a larger chuck capacity. The 118-degree standard point angle suits common shop and field drilling tasks. Made from high speed steel with a coated finish, the 55433 handles the heat and abrasion typical of production and maintenance drilling applications. The tool is part of the Chicago-Latrobe Series 190 line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for portable drilling in residential and light commercial maintenance, fabrication, and construction settings. Typical applications include drilling through alloy steel, carbon steel, cast iron, and wood. The reduced shank design is specifically useful when a drill press or portable drill is equipped with a 1\/2 inch chuck but the required hole size exceeds 1\/2 inch. Trades including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general fabrication crews use reduced shank bits for this reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e33\/64 inch cutting diameter with 1\/2 inch reduced shank for standard chuck compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry on metal and wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for heat and wear resistance during continuous use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoated finish for added surface protection and reduced friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute with 3-1\/8 inch flute length clears chips efficiently\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance of plus 0.0000 to minus 0.0012 inches for consistent hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose reduced shank drill bit compatible with 1\/2 inch drill chucks on portable drills and drill presses.
