Titan Usa CD40817 Jobber Drill Bit No. 17 Hss 118 Deg

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD40817 is a No. 17 wire-size jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. It carries a standard 118-degree split-point angle and a two-flute right-hand spiral configuration suited for consistent chip evacuation during through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations. The bit measures 3.375 inches overall with a 2.1875-inch flute length and a straight-cylindrical shank diameter of 0.1730 inches. Diameter tolerance is held to -0.0007 to +0.0000 inches, supporting clean, on-size holes. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals reach for this bit when general-purpose drilling accuracy matters.

The CD40817 is optimized for drilling non-ferrous metals including aluminum, brass, copper, and similar alloys. Its regular spiral and standard point geometry also perform reliably in plastics and softer composites. Maximum drilling depth matches the 2.1875-inch flute length, making it appropriate for jobber-depth applications in benchtop drill presses, CNC machining centers, and handheld drills where a straight-cylindrical shank is accepted. The 13xD flute-to-diameter ratio provides adequate chip clearance without sacrificing rigidity in the shank.

Key Features

• No. 17 wire size, 0.1730-inch decimal diameter with a -0.0007 to +0.0000 inch tolerance
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry geometry
• High speed steel construction — no coolant-through required
• Bright, uncoated finish — allows direct visual inspection of cutting edges
• Right-hand, regular-spiral two-flute design for efficient chip removal
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock jobber drill for any application requiring a No. 17 wire-size (0.1730-inch) straight-shank bit, belonging to TITAN USA Series CD40.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or trade technicians using a keyed or keyless chuck sized to accept a 0.1730-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Secure the shank fully into the chuck before operation and confirm bit concentricity before engaging the workpiece. Disconnect power to any powered drilling equipment before changing bits. Follow applicable shop-safety standards and wear appropriate eye protection during all drilling operations.
