Titan Usa CD40838 No. 38 Hss Jobber Drill Bit 118 Deg

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD40838 is a No. 38 wire-size jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel and finished bright/uncoated. The bit measures 0.1015 inches in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle, a right-hand spiral flute configuration, and a 2.5-inch overall length. Designed for general-purpose drilling in production and maintenance environments, the CD40838 is suited for machinists, tool-and-die shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance technicians who need a reliable wire-gauge bit for light-duty hole-making operations in non-ferrous metals and similar materials.

The CD40838 is intended for drilling non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, copper, and similar materials. Its regular spiral flute geometry provides efficient chip evacuation in these workpiece materials. With a straight-cylindrical shank and a 1.4375-inch flute length, it seats securely in standard drill chucks found on bench-top drill presses, CNC machining centers, and handheld power drills used in light fabrication and maintenance settings.

Key Features

• No. 38 wire size — 0.1015-inch diameter with a tight tolerance of -0.0005 to +0.0000 inches
• 118-degree standard point angle for positive engagement on non-ferrous workpieces
• High speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for repeated use
• Bright/uncoated finish — ready to use without additional surface treatment
• Regular right-hand spiral flute with 2-flute geometry for efficient chip clearing
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style jobber drill bit replacement for wire-gauge No. 38 applications in standard drill chucks across drill presses, CNC machining centers, and handheld power tools accepting a 0.1015-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using any drill press, CNC spindle, or handheld power drill equipped with a chuck capable of gripping a 0.1015-inch straight shank. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured or clamped before beginning any drilling operation. Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing the bit from the chuck. Do not exceed the recommended maximum drilling depth of 1.4375 inches without retracting to clear chips.
