Titan Usa CD30014 Screw Machine Drill Bit 7/32 in Hss

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD30014 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-production drilling in metal, plastic, and composite materials. It measures 7/32 inch (0.2188 inch decimal) in diameter with a 2-3/8 inch overall length, making it shorter and more rigid than jobber-length bits — ideal for use in tight spaces and drill presses where reduced deflection matters. The 135-degree split point starts on contact without a center punch, reducing walking on smooth or hard surfaces. Constructed from high-speed steel with a black oxide coating, this bit is built for heavy-duty repetitive use in shop and field environments. It is a single-piece, right-hand cut bit suited for machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians.

Screw machine length drill bits are commonly specified for CNC drilling, turret lathes, drill presses, and handheld applications where stub-length rigidity is required. The shortened flute length of 1-1/4 inch and overall compact profile reduce runout and chatter, particularly when drilling through steel plate, structural members, or sheet metal. This bit is sold individually and fits standard chucks that accept straight-cylindrical shanks. It is a practical choice for any trade shop stocking a precision-length bit set for production or repetitive drilling tasks.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point starts on contact — no center punch required on most surfaces
• Screw machine (stub) length body provides greater rigidity and reduced deflection versus jobber bits
• High-speed steel construction rated for heavy-duty drilling in metal and hard materials
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and provides moderate corrosion resistance
• Two spiral flutes with right-hand cut for standard forward-drilling applications
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct stock bit for any drill press, CNC turret, or handheld drill accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.2000 to 0.2500 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should follow standard machining safety practices — secure the workpiece before drilling and confirm chuck jaws are fully tightened before starting the spindle. When drilling ferrous metals, apply cutting fluid to extend bit life and improve chip evacuation through the spiral flutes. Inspect the split point for chipping or dulling before each use; a damaged point will increase heat and reduce hole accuracy. Consult applicable shop safety codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for spindle speed recommendations based on material type.
