Titan Usa CD30022 Screw Machine Drill Bit 11/32 in Hss

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD30022 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-production drilling applications where rigidity and accuracy matter. Built from high-speed steel with a black oxide coating, this bit measures 11/32 inch (0.3438 inch decimal) in diameter with a 3-inch overall length. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and allows the bit to start without a center punch on most materials. The shorter-than-standard body length increases stiffness, making it well suited for use in drill presses, CNC machines, and production setups where deflection needs to be minimized. Licensed HVAC technicians, machinists, and general tradespeople who drill through metal components reach for screw machine length bits when a jobber-length bit is too flexible for the task.

This bit is used in metal fabrication shops, HVAC sheet metal work, plumbing rough-in, and electrical trades where repeatable, clean holes are required in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials. The 1-11/16-inch (1.6875-inch) spiral flute length efficiently clears chips during drilling, reducing heat buildup and prolonging cutting edge life. It is sold individually and suits applications in both bench and handheld drilling equipment.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point reduces bit walking and allows self-starting on flat surfaces
• High-speed steel construction handles the heat and stress of repetitive metal drilling
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting
• Screw machine (stub) length body increases rigidity and reduces deflection compared to jobber-length bits
• Right-hand spiral flute design with 2 flutes for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw chucks and collet holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement screw machine drill bit for use in standard drill presses, CNC drilling machines, and handheld drills accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.3000 to 0.3500 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists and trade professionals using standard 3-jaw chucks or collet systems. Always ensure the chuck or collet is fully tightened and the work piece is secured before beginning drilling. Wear appropriate eye protection and reduce feed pressure as the bit breaks through the material to prevent grab. Follow applicable OSHA and shop-safety guidelines for rotating cutting tools.
