Description of Chicago Latrobe High Speed Extra Long Notched

Extra-long length drill bit reaches farther and drills deeper than a jobber or long length drill bit. High-speed steel (HSS) provides hardness for wear resistance. Black oxide finish reduces wear while promoting chip and coolant flow on ferrous materials. Self-centering 118-degree notched point penetrates material without a pilot hole more easily than a conventional point, and maintains a sharp cutting edge. Extra thick web provides increased strength and rigidity compared to standard drill bits. Made in the USA.

Disappointing results from this bit

After trying industrial and scientific drill bits for cutting tools, I had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately it did not DELIVER... The bit took too long to drill holes and had a tendency to become stuck in harder materials. The only positive aspect was the extra-long length, which was helpful for reaching deeper spaces. Overall, i would not recommend this product..

Pros
  • Extra long design allows for deeper drilling and versatility
Cons
  • No built-in chip clearing mechanisms, making it prone to clogging and breakage when drilling through tougher materials

Extra Long 3/4 " Drill Bit

This is an amazing drill bit made in the USA. I bought it as "last" for $8! 90% discount! To turn the tip 1" on his lathe to 1/2" to fit my low torque and high torque drill bit. I drilled holes in several 6" laminated wood joists from 2x8 glued and screwed together. I used to mess up 2 drill bits when hitting hardened screws. This bit went right through the screws without missing! Drilled 12 holes in 2 joists. Great drill bit !

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • High Price
