Titan Usa CD30024 Screw Machine Drill Bit 3/8 in Hss

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD30024 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-production drilling in metal, wood, and plastic applications. Built from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish, this 3/8-inch diameter bit features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and requires less feed pressure than a standard 118-degree point. At 3-1/8 inches overall length, the shortened body provides added rigidity in drill press, turret lathe, and CNC machine setups where clearance is limited. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard chucks without adapters. This is a heavy-duty grade bit intended for repeated use in shop and field environments.

Screw machine length bits are a staple in metal fabrication shops, HVAC installations, electrical rough-in work, and plumbing applications where shorter flute length improves rigidity and hole accuracy. The right-hand spiral flute clears chips efficiently in through-hole drilling. The 1-13/16-inch flute length is sufficient for most sheet metal, plate, and structural steel applications. This bit is sold individually and is well suited for tradespeople who need a reliable replacement or spare in a specific diameter.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers feed pressure at entry
• High-speed steel construction handles heat generated during metal drilling
• Black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces friction
• Shortened screw machine length body adds rigidity compared to jobber-length bits
• Straight-cylindrical shank seats in standard drill press and hand drill chucks
• Heavy-duty grade rated for repeated use in production and service environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard screw machine length drill bit fitting any chuck that accepts a straight-cylindrical shank in the 3/8-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers using drill presses, hand drills, or turret lathes. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and confirm the bit runs true before engaging the workpiece. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece to prevent rotation. Disconnect power to any drill press or CNC machine before changing bits.
