Titan Usa CD40203 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 3 Hss Black Oxide

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD40203 is a wire gauge size 3 jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in production and maintenance applications. Built from high speed steel with a black oxide coating, it runs at standard cutting speeds across a wide range of workpiece materials. The 118-degree standard point angle is suited for most metal drilling tasks without requiring a pilot hole. At 3.75 inches overall length with a 2.5-inch spiral flute, it fits standard drill chucks without modification. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in keyless or keyed chucks. This bit is sold individually and is a go-to consumable for machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians.

The CD40203 is intended for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys including titanium. Its regular spiral flute and right-hand cutting direction make it compatible with conventional drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations. Maximum drilling depth is 2.5 inches, keeping it well within jobber-length working range for through-holes and blind holes in plate, structural steel, and piping work. It is appropriate for both shop and field use wherever a wire gauge size 3 hole is required.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with any drill press, hand drill, or CNC machine accepting a straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys including titanium as noted in the manufacturer specifications.

Installation Notes

Drill bits of this type are installed and serviced by machinists, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general maintenance trades. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck key is removed before powering the drill. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel, cast iron, or titanium to extend bit life and control heat. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if the point shows visible wear or chipping.
