Titan Usa CD40254 Jobber Drill Bit No. 54 Hss Black Oxide

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD40254 is a No. 54 wire-size jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel and finished with a black oxide coating. The bit measures 1.875 inches overall length with a 0.875-inch spiral flute and cuts at a standard 118-degree point angle. Right-hand cutting direction and a straight-cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks. The two-flute spiral geometry clears chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. It is sold individually and suited for machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance trades requiring small-diameter precision drilling.

This bit is designed for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys including titanium. It fits applications where a No. 54 wire gauge hole is required, such as tapping pilot holes, clearance holes for small fasteners, and precision layout work on machine components. The 0.0550-inch decimal diameter and 16xD flute-to-diameter ratio make it well suited for light-feed drilling on drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-held power drills in shop or field environments.

Key Features

• No. 54 wire size, 0.0550-inch decimal diameter with a tight tolerance of -0.0005 to +0.0000 inches
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling across a wide range of materials
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and provides mild corrosion resistance during storage and use
• High speed steel construction maintains cutting edge integrity across steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals
• Straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard three-jaw drill chucks without slippage
• Regular spiral, two-flute design promotes consistent chip evacuation in through-hole and blind-hole applications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for No. 54 wire-size jobber drill bits in the TITAN USA Series CD40 line. Compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.0550-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys and titanium as indicated by workpiece material codes P, M, K, N, and S.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician using a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify runout is within acceptable limits for the application. For drilling hard materials such as stainless steel or superalloys, use appropriate cutting fluid and set feed rate and spindle speed to values recommended for the workpiece material and bit diameter. Coolant-through is not supported on this bit.
