Titan Usa CD40843 Jobber Drill Bit No. 43 Hss 118 Deg

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD40843 is a No. 43 wire gauge jobber-length drill bit designed for precision drilling in non-ferrous metals and similar materials. Built from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a standard 118-degree split point and a two-flute spiral design with regular helix. At 2.25 inches overall length with a 1.25-inch flute length, this compact bit delivers accurate, repeatable hole entry without a pilot. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly in standard drill chucks with no modification required. It is suited for bench drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling applications in production and maintenance environments.

This bit is sized at 0.0890 inches in decimal equivalent, corresponding to No. 43 wire gauge. It is intended for drilling non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar workpiece materials where a standard point geometry and uncoated finish are appropriate. The CD40 series targets general-purpose jobber-length drilling tasks in light manufacturing, tool-and-die, HVAC fabrication, electrical panel work, and plumbing rough-in applications where small, precise holes are required.

Key Features

• No. 43 wire size, 0.0890 inch decimal diameter for precise small-hole drilling
• 118-degree standard point angle for clean entry on non-ferrous metals
• High speed steel construction for durability across production run volumes
• Bright, uncoated finish for visual wear inspection during use
• Two-flute regular spiral with 1.25-inch flute length for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting straight cylindrical shanks sized at 0.0890 inches, suitable for bench drill presses, hand drills, and CNC spindles configured for small-diameter tooling.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the drill chuck before operation and verify chuck jaws are tightened evenly. Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling. Clamp the workpiece firmly to prevent rotation, particularly when breaking through thin stock. Reduce feed pressure as the bit exits the workpiece to minimize burring and bit deflection.
