Titan Usa CD30209 Screw Machine Drill Bit Size 9 Hss

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD30209 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-volume drilling in metal, wood, and plastic where shorter overall length provides added rigidity and reduced deflection. Built from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish, this bit measures 2.25 inches overall with a 1.1875-inch spiral flute and a 135-degree split point that self-centers on contact, reducing the need for a center punch. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. This is a heavy-duty Series 300 bit suited to production and maintenance work in shop and field environments.

This drill bit is used in screw machine operations, drill presses, and hand drills where a compact length improves rigidity in tight clearance applications. Wire size 9 corresponds to a decimal diameter of 0.196 inches, placing it in the 0.150 to 0.200 inch size range. It is appropriate for HVAC sheet metal work, electrical rough-in, plumbing rough-in, and general mechanical trade applications. The right-hand cutting direction and two-flute spiral design clear chips efficiently in both ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point self-centers on the workpiece, reducing walking and skipping on smooth metal surfaces
• High-speed steel construction handles heat buildup during sustained drilling better than standard carbon steel
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance during storage and use
• Screw machine length at 2.25 inches overall increases stiffness compared to jobber-length bits of the same diameter
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without adapters
• Two-flute spiral design promotes efficient chip evacuation in through-hole drilling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard wire-gauge replacement drill bit suitable for use in any drill press, screw machine, or hand drill accepting a straight-cylindrical shank bit in the 0.150 to 0.200 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and removed by a licensed machinist, journeyman tradesperson, or qualified mechanic using a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck. Ensure the drill is fully powered off and unplugged or locked out before changing bits. Secure the shank fully into the chuck and tighten evenly to prevent slipping under load. Use appropriate cutting fluid on ferrous materials to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup.
