Titan Usa CD40256 Jobber Drill Bit 56 Wire Hss

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD40256 is a wire gauge size 56 jobber-length drill bit designed for precision drilling in metal and alloy workpieces. Built from high speed steel with a black oxide coating, it runs a standard 118-degree point angle and a regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 3/64 inches (0.0465 decimal inch) in diameter, matching the bit diameter exactly. Overall length is 1.75 inches with a flute length of 0.75 inches and a shank length of 1.0 inch. This bit is a right-hand cut, two-flute design suited for machinists, tool-and-die work, and precision metalworking trades.

The CD40256 is intended for drilling in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. Its 16xD flute-to-diameter ratio and 0.75-inch maximum drilling depth make it well suited for small-diameter through-holes in thin stock, sheet metal, and precision components. It fits standard drill chucks and is packaged as a single unit, making it a practical replacement or bench stock bit for professional machine shops and field service technicians.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 56 (0.0465 inch decimal) for precision small-diameter work
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose metal drilling
• High speed steel construction for heat and wear resistance
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and provides mild corrosion resistance
• Right-hand cut, two-flute regular spiral design for consistent chip clearing
• Straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style jobber drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and drill presses accepting straight-cylindrical shanks in the 3/64-inch diameter range. Suitable for use across steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by machinists or qualified trades personnel familiar with small-diameter drill bit handling. Secure the shank firmly in a properly sized drill chuck before operation to prevent bit walking or breakage. At this diameter, low feed pressure and appropriate cutting fluid are standard practice to avoid bit deflection or fracture. Inspect the bit for tip damage before each use, as small-diameter HSS bits are susceptible to breakage if run at incorrect speeds or feeds.
