The bit carries a 3\/8 inch cutting diameter with a reduced 1\/4 inch straight-cylindrical shank, allowing it to chuck into standard 1\/4 inch capacity drill drivers and portable drills. Manufactured from high speed steel, it features a 118-degree standard point angle and a two-flute spiral design with a regular helix. Overall length is 3-1\/8 inches with a 1-11\/16 inch flute length. The coated finish provides basic abrasion resistance during general-purpose use. Weight is 0.01 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for general-purpose portable drilling in light fabrication, maintenance, and field service environments. Primary workpiece materials include aluminum, sheet metal, and wood. Secondary materials include mild steel, additional aluminum grades, and wood composites. The reduced shank configuration makes it particularly useful when a larger cutting diameter is needed with a smaller-capacity chuck. It is a right-hand cut bit and does not require coolant for typical applications in its intended material range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch cutting diameter with reduced 1\/4 inch shank for use in standard 1\/4 inch chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across aluminum, mild steel, sheet metal, and wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo-flute regular spiral design promotes chip evacuation during through-drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoated finish for added wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiameter tolerance held to +0.0000 to -0.0010 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 portable drills and drill drivers accepting a 1\/4 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Secure the shank fully within the chuck and tighten according to the tool manufacturer's guidelines before operation. Wear appropriate eye protection when drilling metal or sheet stock. For drilling into structural steel or pressure-containing components in trade applications, verify that bit size and material rating meet applicable job specifications and applicable code requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches (0.2500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.8750 inches\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: 1-11\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\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\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\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\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0010 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Portable Drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Required\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 239\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\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: 56324\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51747579986226,"sku":"56324","price":20.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/47afe236feafc1496155e574129e1a42_7e25eb34-2c0d-42c3-9db1-407f17dcf749.jpg?v=1788882860","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-56324-reduced-shank-drill-bit-3-8-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
