Titan Usa CD30017 Drill Bit 17/64 Inch Hss Black Oxide

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD30017 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-production drilling in metal, wood, and plastic applications. It features a 17/64 inch (0.2656 inch decimal) diameter, a 135-degree split point for fast penetration and reduced walking on hard surfaces, and a high-speed steel (HSS) construction with a black oxide coating for improved lubricity and corrosion resistance. The overall length is 2-5/8 inches, making it shorter than jobber-length bits and better suited for use in tight spaces or drill presses where reduced deflection is critical. This bit is sold individually.

Screw machine length drill bits are standard in machine shops, fabrication environments, and maintenance applications where close-tolerance hole placement matters. The CD30017 is well suited for drilling operations on mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials. Its compact 2-5/8 inch overall length and straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks on drill presses, CNC machines, and hand drills. The 1-7/16 inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance for the typical hole depths this diameter range handles in production settings.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point reduces thrust and eliminates center-punching on most metals
• High-speed steel construction handles a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion protection during storage and use
• Screw machine (stub) length minimizes deflection and improves hole accuracy in tight setups
• 2-flute spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Heavy-duty grade construction rated for production drilling applications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard addition for any drill press, CNC drilling station, or hand drill equipped with a chuck accepting a straight cylindrical shank in the 0.2500 to 0.3000 inch drill bit size range.

Installation Notes

Drill bits in this class are installed and serviced by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals using standard drill chucks. Ensure the chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is securely clamped before operation. Verify spindle speed is appropriate for the material being drilled to avoid overheating the cutting edge. Inspect the bit for chipping or dulling before each use and replace when point geometry is compromised.
