Chicago-latrobe 69864 Taper Length Drill Bit Set 29 Pc

Product Description

The CHICAGO-LATROBE 69864 is a 29-piece taper length drill bit set designed for metalworking and general-purpose drilling applications. Built from high speed steel with an oxide finish, these bits deliver consistent performance across a range of hole sizes from 1/16 inch to 1/2 inch in 1/64-inch step increments. The straight shank design is compatible with standard drill chucks, and the 118-degree standard point angle suits most metal and multipurpose drilling tasks. Bits are right-hand cutting and ship in a durable metal or plastic storage case. This set is appropriate for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, HVAC installers, plumbers, and electricians who need a reliable range of drill sizes on the job.

The 69864 set is suited for light to medium metalworking environments including fabrication shops, mechanical rooms, and field service applications. The 1/64-inch step increments across 29 pieces provide full fractional coverage from 1/16 inch through 1/2 inch, making this set practical for conduit knockouts, pipe hangers, equipment mounting, and general structural drilling. The oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance during storage and helps reduce friction at the cutting edge during use. The included storage case keeps bits organized and protects cutting edges between uses.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of drill bits should follow standard machining and safety practices. Always secure the workpiece before drilling and ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened before operation. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable OSHA guidelines for rotating equipment. Inspect bits for wear or damage before each use and replace any bit showing cracks or excessive dulling.
