CHICAGO-LATROBE Jobber Length Drill Bit: 15/32", 118° Split Point

The CHICAGO-LATROBE 57230 is a general-purpose high-speed steel drill bit for drilling into ferrous metals, wood, and plastics. Its 118° split point reduces walking and requires less thrust, making it suitable for production drilling and maintenance work across industrial machining and fabrication applications.

The CHICAGO-LATROBE 57230 is a jobber length drill bit with a 15/32" (0.4688 inch) diameter, black oxide finish, and 118° split point. It is made from high-speed steel (HSS) and has a 1/2" shank. The black oxide coating improves lubricity and corrosion resistance for longer tool life.

For metal drilling, match the bit diameter to your hole size and choose a 118° split point for easier starting. High-speed steel (HSS) with black oxide coating, like the CHICAGO-LATROBE 57230, works well on steel and alloys. Use proper cutting fluid and reduce feed rate for harder materials to extend bit life.
