Titan Usa CD32608 Cobalt Screw Machine Drill Bit

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD32608 is a cobalt screw machine length drill bit designed for drilling into hard metals, stainless steel, and tough alloys where standard high-speed steel bits wear prematurely. It measures 0.199 inches in diameter (Wire Size 8) with an overall length of 2.25 inches and a spiral flute length of 1.1875 inches. The 135-degree split point reduces walking on entry and requires no center punch on most surfaces. The bright uncoated finish makes wear patterns easy to identify during use. This is a heavy-duty bit rated to NAS 907 Type J specification, appropriate for machine shops, maintenance trades, and fabrication work.

Screw machine length bits are shorter than jobber-length bits, which gives them greater rigidity and reduces deflection in close-tolerance drilling applications. The CD32608 is suited for use in drill presses, CNC machines, and hand-held power drills where a compact tool profile is needed. Typical applications include drilling clearance holes, pilot holes, and through-holes in ferrous metals, stainless steel, and heat-treated materials. Right-hand cut with a straight cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility.

Key Features

• Cobalt construction provides heat resistance for drilling hard and abrasive metals
• 135-degree split point reduces thrust force and eliminates center-punch dependency on most materials
• Screw machine length (2.25 inches overall) delivers added rigidity over jobber-length bits
• Spiral flute design promotes chip evacuation during deep drilling passes
• Bright uncoated finish allows direct visual inspection of cutting edge wear
• Meets NAS 907 Type J specification for heavy-duty industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a heavy-duty OEM-style replacement screw machine drill bit for use in standard straight-shank chucks accepting 0.199 inch diameter tooling, rated for the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch drill bit size range.

Installation Notes

Install in a drill press, lathe tailstock, or hand drill with a straight-shank chuck rated for the tool diameter. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the chuck is tightened before operation. Use cutting fluid or coolant appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life, especially when drilling stainless or hardened steel. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit when the point shows visible wear or chipping.
