Titan Usa CD30229 Drill Bit Size 29 Hss Black Oxide

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD30229 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-speed, close-tolerance drilling in metal fabrication, machining, and general trade work. Built from high-speed steel with a black oxide coating, this bit runs at wire gauge size 29, equivalent to 0.1360 inches in decimal. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and allows the bit to self-center without a pilot hole. At 1-15/16 inches overall length, the stub-length design provides added rigidity in drill presses, lathes, and handheld power tools where standard-length bits would flex or deflect. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users.

This drill bit is suited for production drilling in mild steel, aluminum, brass, plastics, and similar materials. The screw machine length profile is a standard choice when working inside tight clearances or when rigidity matters more than reach. The two-flute spiral design clears chips efficiently, and the straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. It is a practical everyday bit for maintenance shops, fabrication benches, and field service kits that need a reliable wire-gauge drill in the 0.1000 to 0.1500 inch size range.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 29, 0.1360 inches decimal equivalent for precise hole sizing
• 135-degree split point self-centers and reduces thrust force at entry
• High-speed steel construction handles intermittent cutting in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Black oxide coating provides moderate lubricity and corrosion resistance
• Stub screw machine length adds rigidity and reduces deflection vs. jobber-length bits
• Two-flute spiral design promotes efficient chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard screw machine length drill bit for use in any 3-jaw drill chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank; compatible with drill presses, lathes, CNC turrets, and handheld power drills that accept wire-gauge tooling in the 0.1000 to 0.1500 inch range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists and maintenance technicians using standard drill chucks. Power down and de-energize any machine tool completely before loading or removing the bit. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the chuck to prevent slipping under load. Inspect the cutting edges and point before use; a damaged split point will walk and produce an oversized hole.
