Titan Usa CD40217 Jobber Drill Bit Wire Size 17 Hss

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD40217 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit in wire gauge size 17, with a decimal diameter of 0.1730 inches. It features a 118-degree standard point angle and a black oxide coating that reduces friction and provides moderate corrosion resistance during operation. The two-flute spiral design with regular helix promotes efficient chip evacuation during through-hole and blind drilling operations. This bit is sized for use with standard drill chucks and is suited for trade professionals and production machinists who require consistent, repeatable hole sizing across a range of materials.

The CD40217 is designed for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys including titanium. It performs in both handheld and machine-mounted drilling applications where a straight-cylindrical shank and jobber-length reach are appropriate. The 2-3/16-inch flute length accommodates a maximum drilling depth of 2.1875 inches, making it well suited for typical through-hole work in sheet stock, plate, and structural sections encountered in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade installations.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style jobber drill bit for use in standard 3-jaw drill chucks compatible with straight-cylindrical shanks at 0.1730-inch shank diameter. Part of the TITAN USA CD40 series, covering the 0.1500 to 0.2000-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists, tradespeople, or maintenance technicians familiar with drilling operations. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and verify chuck engagement before starting the spindle. Match drill press or hand drill speed to the workpiece material to avoid overheating the cutting edge. Do not force the bit through hardened or abrasive materials beyond its rated workpiece material categories.
