Titan Usa CD32523 23/64 in Cobalt Screw Machine Drill Bit

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD32523 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-speed drilling in metal and other hard materials. Built from cobalt steel, this bit handles elevated heat and wear better than standard high-speed steel, making it a reliable choice for production drilling and heavy-duty shop work. The 23/64 inch (0.3594 inch) diameter, 135-degree split point reduces walking on contact and requires less thrust to start a hole. The bright/uncoated finish maintains the cobalt alloy at its base hardness. Machinists, tool and die workers, and maintenance mechanics are the primary installers of this bit.

This bit is suited for drilling ferrous metals, stainless steel, cast iron, and other difficult materials in machine shop, fabrication, and industrial maintenance settings. The screw machine length format means a shorter overall length compared to jobber bits, which increases rigidity and reduces deflection in close-quarter or high-feed applications. It fits any standard drill press, CNC machine, or handheld drill with a straight-cylindrical shank chuck. The right-hand spiral flute design clears chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations.

Key Features

• Cobalt steel construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 135-degree split point reduces thrust requirements and resists walking on curved or flat surfaces
• Screw machine length body increases rigidity and reduces deflection versus jobber-length bits
• Right-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation during drilling
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard chucks without adapters
• NAS 907 Type J specification compliance for consistent dimensional and performance standards

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or working bit for any drill press, CNC drill station, or handheld power drill with a chuck capacity that accommodates a straight-cylindrical shank at 0.3594 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by machinists and maintenance mechanics in drill presses, lathes, and CNC equipment. Always secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and confirm the spindle is at a full stop before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the material being drilled to maximize bit life, particularly when drilling stainless or alloy steels. Follow applicable OSHA machine guarding and PPE requirements when operating drilling equipment.
