Titan Usa CD40232 Jobber Drill Bit Wire Size 32 Hss

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD40232 is a wire gauge size 32 jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and alloy applications. Ground from high speed steel and finished with a black oxide coating, it measures 0.1160 inches in diameter and carries a 118-degree standard point angle. Overall length is 2.75 inches with a 1.625-inch spiral flute length and a straight-cylindrical shank. The two-flute, right-hand spiral design clears chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations. This bit is suited for use in drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling setups by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working with ferrous and non-ferrous stock.

The CD40232 is built for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys including titanium-bearing materials. Its regular spiral geometry and 14xD flute-to-diameter ratio make it a practical choice for production drilling and repair work where consistent hole quality in a wire gauge size is required. The black oxide finish provides mild lubricity and corrosion resistance during storage and use. This bit ships individually and is suitable for both shop and field applications.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 32 (0.1160 inches) with tight diameter tolerance of -0.0005 to +0.0000 inches
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry into steel and cast iron
• High speed steel construction handles elevated cutting temperatures
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and protects against surface corrosion
• Right-hand, two-flute spiral design promotes chip evacuation in through-hole drilling
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill chucks accepting a 0.1160-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Compatible with drill presses, portable hand drills, and CNC drilling equipment. Suitable for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys and titanium-bearing materials per workpiece material codes P, M, K, N, and S.

Installation Notes

Install this bit in a properly rated drill chuck and verify the shank seats securely before operation. Maximum recommended drilling depth is 1.625 inches; exceeding this may compromise chip clearance and bit integrity. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel or superalloys to manage heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit when the point shows signs of dulling or chipping to maintain hole accuracy.
