Titan Usa CD40238 Jobber Drill Bit No 38 Hss Black Oxide

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD40238 is a No. 38 wire-gauge jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and other materials. It is manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide coating that reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance during use. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle, a regular spiral flute, and a straight cylindrical shank for use in standard drill chucks. Overall length is 2.5 inches, with a flute length of 1.4375 inches and a shank diameter of 0.1015 inches. This is a single-unit offering suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and general fabrication work.

The CD40238 is part of the TITAN USA Series CD40 jobber drill line. It is suited for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. Right-hand cutting direction makes it compatible with standard drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-held electric drills. The 14xD flute-to-diameter ratio and maximum drilling depth of 1.4375 inches make it appropriate for through-hole and blind-hole applications in light to medium stock material.

Key Features

• No. 38 wire size (0.1015 inches decimal equivalent) for precise small-diameter drilling
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose metal drilling
• High speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance
• Regular spiral, two-flute design promotes chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service drill bit for use in any drill press, CNC machine, or hand-held drill accepting a straight cylindrical shank at 0.1015 inches diameter. Compatible workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or trained technician familiar with proper drill bit handling. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and confirm the workpiece is clamped or fixtured. Coolant-through is not supported on this bit; apply cutting fluid externally as needed for ferrous materials. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dullness is observed.
