Titan Usa CD32504 Cobalt Screw Machine Drill Bit 1/16 in

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD32504 is a cobalt screw machine length drill bit designed for high-speed drilling in hard and abrasive materials. Built to NAS 907 Type J specification, this Series 325 bit features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and cutting pressure on entry, allowing it to start drilling without a center punch in most applications. The straight-cylindrical shank provides secure chuck retention. At 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) diameter with a 1-5/8 inch overall length, this bit is suited for tight-clearance drilling tasks. It is installed and used by machinists, HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers who need a compact, heavy-duty drill bit for metal fabrication and field service work.

The CD32504 is best applied when drilling into steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other hard metals where standard high-speed steel bits wear prematurely. Its short screw machine length body provides rigidity in drill press, CNC, and hand-drill applications where minimal deflection is critical. The 5/8 inch flute length is sufficient for shallow through-holes and spot drilling in sheet metal, pipe, conduit, and structural components common in mechanical and electrical trade work.

Key Features

• Cobalt construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive metals
• 135-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers entry cutting force
• Screw machine (stub) length body increases rigidity and reduces deflection
• Bright/uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection of cutting edge wear
• Right-hand spiral flute for standard chuck use and efficient chip evacuation
• Meets NAS 907 Type J specification for dimensional and performance consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock cobalt stub drill bit for use in any 3-jaw or keyless chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at 1/16 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this bit only with the drill or drill press powered off and the chuck fully secured before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel or hardened alloys to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Verify chuck capacity is rated for 1/16 inch shank diameter before tightening. Disposal of worn cobalt tooling should follow local regulations for metal waste.
