Titan Usa CD30230 Screw Machine Drill Bit Size 30 Hss

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD30230 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-speed steel cutting in metal fabrication, machining, and general-purpose drilling applications. Built to Series 300 heavy-duty grade standards, this bit features a 135-degree split point for self-centering performance that reduces walking on hard surfaces and minimizes the need for a center punch. A black oxide coating provides light corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks, and the spiral flute design evacuates chips efficiently through the cut. At 1-15/16 inches overall length, the screw machine format delivers extra rigidity compared to jobber-length bits, making it well suited for work in tight spaces or on drill presses.

This drill bit is sized at wire gauge number 30, equivalent to 0.1285 inches decimal diameter, placing it in the 0.1000 to 0.1500 inch size range. It is commonly used by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and HVAC technicians for drilling through sheet metal, steel plate, and similar ferrous materials. The compact screw machine length is especially practical when using a hand drill in confined areas such as electrical panels, equipment cabinets, or mechanical chases. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drill press and hand drill use.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction rated for heavy-duty cutting applications
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance
• Screw machine length at 1-15/16 inches OAL delivers added rigidity over jobber bits
• Spiral flute with 15/16 inch flute length promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a Series 300 heavy-duty screw machine length drill bit compatible with any standard drill press or hand drill accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.1000 to 0.1500 inch size range.

Installation Notes

Install this bit into a properly sized drill chuck and tighten securely before drilling. De-energize and lock out any powered equipment before drilling into live electrical enclosures or mechanical assemblies. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and maintain cut quality. Dispose of metal chips safely and wear appropriate eye protection per applicable shop safety standards.
