Titan Usa CD40818 Jobber Drill Bit No. 18 Hss 118 Deg

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD40818 is a No. 18 wire-size jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in non-ferrous metals and similar materials. It measures 0.1695 inches in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and a bright, uncoated high speed steel construction. The overall length is 3.25 inches, and the spiral flute design with right-hand cutting action provides efficient chip evacuation during drilling operations. It is a single-piece tool sold individually and is appropriate for use in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC setups by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators.

This drill bit is suited for drilling non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper, as well as plastics and softer materials. Its straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in standard three-jaw chucks without adapters. The 2.125-inch flute length supports a maximum drilling depth of 2.125 inches, making it appropriate for through-hole and blind-hole work in light to medium fabrication and maintenance applications. The regular spiral and 13xD flute-to-diameter ratio keep the bit tracking true in both hand-held and machine-guided setups.

Key Features

• No. 18 wire size with 0.1695-inch diameter and a tolerance of -0.0007 to +0.0000 inches for precise hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle for reliable penetration in non-ferrous metals and plastics
• High speed steel construction, bright and uncoated, resists heat during moderate-speed drilling
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular helix efficiently evacuates chips and reduces heat buildup
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks without adapters
• 2.125-inch maximum drilling depth suits a wide range of through-hole and blind-hole applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style jobber drill bit for use in standard three-jaw chucks across hand drills, drill presses, and compatible CNC tooling setups where a No. 18 wire-size straight-shank drill is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit should be performed by a qualified machinist or technician familiar with rotating cutting tools. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a three-jaw chuck before operation and verify concentricity to minimize runout. Always wear appropriate eye protection and ensure the workpiece is clamped securely before drilling. Do not exceed the recommended feed and speed parameters for the workpiece material and bit diameter.
