Titan Usa CD40824 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 23 Hss 118 Deg

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD40824 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit sized to wire gauge number 23, equal to 0.1520 inches in diameter. It features a standard 118-degree split point and a bright, uncoated finish. The two-flute spiral design clears chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations. With an overall length of 3.125 inches and a flute length of 2 inches, this bit is proportioned for general-purpose drilling in light metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance applications. It is installed and used by machinists, maintenance technicians, HVAC fabricators, plumbers, and electricians who need precise small-diameter holes in non-ferrous metals and similar materials.

This drill bit is suited for drilling non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, and brass, as well as plastics and similar soft materials. Its straight cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks on hand drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling machines. The 13xD flute-to-diameter ratio makes it a practical choice for moderate-depth holes where chip evacuation is a priority. Single-piece packaging makes it easy to stock individually for bench kits or toolboxes.

Installation Notes

This bit is used by machinists and maintenance tradespeople in bench or machine drilling setups. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is securely clamped before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling metals to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges before use and replace bits that show wear, chipping, or diameter drift beyond tolerance.
