Titan Usa CD40301 Jobber Drill Bit Letter D Hss Black Oxide

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD40301 is a jobber-length drill bit sized to letter designation D (0.2340 inches decimal), designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and alloy applications. Manufactured from high speed steel with a black oxide coating, it runs a standard 118-degree split-point angle and a two-flute right-hand spiral for consistent chip evacuation. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks without slipping. At 3.875 inches overall length with a 2.625-inch flute, this bit suits bench drills, handheld power drills, and drill presses used daily in metal fabrication, mechanical, and maintenance work.

This bit is rated for drilling into steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys including titanium. The CD40 series targets trade and industrial users who need a reliable jobber drill for repetitive hole-making in production or field service environments. The 11xD flute-to-diameter ratio provides adequate depth capacity for most through-hole and blind-hole tasks encountered in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trade work.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction resists heat buildup during prolonged drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance during storage and use
• 118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of metal drilling applications
• Right-hand two-flute spiral design promotes efficient chip clearance and reduces clogging
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without adapters
• Maximum drilling depth of 2.625 inches handles most through-hole requirements in structural and sheet metal

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill presses, handheld power drills, and drill press vises accepting a straight-cylindrical shank. Compatible workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys and titanium as defined by material codes P, M, K, N, and S.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the drill chuck and verify the bit runs true before drilling. A licensed machinist or qualified tradesperson should select appropriate feed rate and RPM for the workpiece material to prevent premature bit wear or breakage. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling stainless steel, hardened steel, or titanium to manage heat. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear before each use and replace when the point shows dullness or deformation.
