Titan Usa CD30004 1/16 in Hss Screw Machine Drill Bit

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD30004 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-speed drilling in metal, plastic, and general shop applications. Built from high speed steel with a black oxide finish, it measures 0.0625 inches (1/16 inch) in diameter with an overall length of 1-5/8 inches and a flute length of 5/8 inch. The 135-degree split point reduces walking on entry and requires less feed pressure than a conventional 118-degree point. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly into standard drill chucks without adapters. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and pipe fitters commonly reach for screw machine bits when working in tight clearances where a jobber-length bit is too long.

The CD30004 is suited for close-quarters drilling in control panels, electrical enclosures, sheet metal brackets, and mechanical room framing. Its shortened flute geometry provides added rigidity, reducing deflection when drilling through thin-gauge steel or aluminum. The heavy duty grade designation indicates the bit is manufactured to tighter tolerances than general-purpose alternatives, making it a reliable choice for repetitive production drilling or field service work where bit life matters.

Key Features

• 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) diameter for small-fastener and pilot-hole applications
• 135-degree split point reduces center punch requirement and walking on hard surfaces
• High speed steel construction withstands heat generated in continuous drilling cycles
• Black oxide finish provides mild lubricity and corrosion resistance during storage
• Screw machine length body adds rigidity and suits confined-space drilling
• Right-hand spiral flute with straight cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service-stock screw machine drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a straight cylindrical shank in the 1/16 inch size range.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck before drilling and verify chuck key is removed before powering the tool. Wear appropriate eye protection per ANSI Z87.1 standards when drilling metal or composite materials. Apply light, consistent feed pressure to avoid deflecting or snapping the small-diameter bit. Coolant or cutting oil is not required by this bit design but may extend service life when drilling hardened steel.
