Titan Usa CD40252 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 52 Hss

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD40252 is a wire-gauge jobber-length drill bit sized at No. 52 (0.0635 inches diameter), designed for precision drilling in metal and alloy materials. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide coating, the bit runs at standard shop speeds while reducing friction and providing basic corrosion resistance. The 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose drilling across a wide range of metallic workpiece materials. With an overall length of 1.875 inches and a right-hand spiral flute, this bit fits standard drill chucks and is sold individually, making it a practical single-unit replacement for production or maintenance shops.

This bit is suited for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys including titanium. The 7/8-inch flute length supports a maximum drilling depth of 0.875 inches, making it appropriate for thin stock, sheet metal, and close-tolerance hole work where small-diameter wire-gauge bits are required. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals regularly use wire-gauge jobber bits in drill presses, CNC machines, and handheld power drills for pilot holes, through-holes, and precision bore work.

Key Features

• Wire gauge No. 52 diameter (0.0635 inches) for precision small-hole drilling
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• High speed steel construction handles heat buildup during sustained drilling cycles
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and provides light surface protection
• Right-hand, regular spiral, two-flute design for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank (0.0635 inches diameter) fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style replacement wire-gauge jobber drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting straight-cylindrical shanks in the 0.0500 to 0.1000 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Wire-gauge drill bits are installed by machinists and maintenance technicians using drill presses, lathes, or handheld power drills with a compatible chuck. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the chuck before operation to prevent bit walk or breakage. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for steel and stainless steel applications to extend bit life, even though this bit does not support through-coolant delivery. At this diameter, apply light, consistent feed pressure to avoid bit deflection or breakage.
