Built from high speed steel with a bright\/uncoated finish, this bit features a 135-degree split point that promotes self-centering and reduces walking on entry, eliminating the need for a center punch in most setups. The parabolic flute geometry accelerates chip evacuation, making it well-suited for deeper holes and interrupted cuts. At 7\/32 inch (0.2188 inches) in diameter with a 6-inch overall length and a 4.375-inch flute length, it provides extended reach beyond standard jobber-length bits. The tanged shank and tapered web design add rigidity during high-feed operations. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and fabricators rely on this Series 120DH bit for consistent, accurate performance in demanding production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CHICAGO-LATROBE 68814 is suited for drilling alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals in both manual and CNC machine tool setups. The taper length body is a common choice when standard jobber bits lack the reach for fixtures, deep bores, or multi-stack drilling. Right-hand cut geometry matches conventional drill press and lathe spindle rotation. The self-centering split point reduces thrust requirements, which benefits operators working on sensitive workpieces or lower-horsepower machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point for self-centering entry without a center punch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParabolic flute design improves chip flow and reduces heat buildup in deep holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction rated for heavy-duty metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper length body at 6 inches OAL provides extended reach over jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces cutting resistance and improves drill life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish maintains as-ground sharpness with no coating to chip or flake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual lathes accepting a tanged taper shank.

Secure the shank fully in the taper socket and confirm zero runout before beginning the cut. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and redress or replace the bit as needed to maintain diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0007 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Fractional)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/32 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2188 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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2188 inches (5.56 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.625 inches (41.27 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parabolic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\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: Tanged\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\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: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0007 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Carbon Steel, Non-Ferrous Metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 120DH\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy-Duty\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: 68814\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728235692338,"sku":"68814","price":20.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f89298ff3d966a6479acd82f2cd64b04.jpg?v=1788689989","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-68814-7-32-inch-taper-length-drill-bit-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
