Titan Usa CD32524 Screw Machine Drill Bit 3/8 in Cobalt

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD32524 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-speed, production-oriented drilling in tough materials. Built from cobalt steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit features a 135-degree split point that self-centers on contact and reduces the thrust required to start a hole. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. At 3.125 inches overall length with a 1.8125-inch flute length, the stubby profile delivers added rigidity, minimizing deflection during high-feed-rate applications. This is a Series 325 heavy-duty bit intended for professional metalworking and trade use.

Screw machine drill bits are used in environments where shorter, stiffer tooling outperforms jobber-length bits. Common applications include drilling ferrous metals, stainless steel, hard alloys, and other abrasion-resistant materials encountered in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical rough-in work. The cobalt construction handles heat generated by difficult materials without losing temper, making it suitable for both handheld and drill press setups. This bit fits 3/8-inch chuck capacity and works in standard right-hand rotation drilling equipment.

Key Features

• Cobalt steel construction handles high-heat drilling in hard and abrasion-resistant metals
• 135-degree split point self-centers and reduces walking on hard surfaces without a center punch
• Screw machine length profile provides extra rigidity and reduced deflection versus jobber-length bits
• Bright uncoated finish allows direct visual inspection of the cutting edge condition
• Right-hand spiral flute evacuates chips efficiently during through-hole drilling
• Meets NAS 907 Type J specification for dimensional and performance consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock tooling bit for any standard right-hand drill press, magnetic drill, or handheld drill accepting a 3/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this bit should follow standard metalworking safety practices. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and confirm tightness before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous and stainless materials to extend bit life, even though this bit does not support through-tool coolant delivery. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and remove the bit from service if chipping or dullness is observed.
