Titan Usa CD40846 Jobber Drill Bit No. 44 Hss 118 Deg

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD40846 is a No. 44 wire-size jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The bit measures 0.0810 inches in diameter and carries a standard 118-degree split-free point for clean entry in non-ferrous metals and similar soft-to-medium workpiece materials. Overall length is 2.125 inches with a 1.125-inch spiral flute length, keeping the tool compact and well-suited for bench drill presses, hand drills, and drill-press fixtures in shop and field environments. It is sold individually and installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, HVAC fabricators, plumbers, and electricians who need a reliable wire-gauge bit for pilot holes, clearance holes, and precision drilling tasks.

This bit is designed for general drilling in non-ferrous metals, plastics, and other machinable materials where a standard 118-degree point geometry is appropriate. Its straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks without an adapter. The CD40 series covers wire-gauge sizes in the 0.0500 to 0.1000 inch diameter range, making individual bits from this series a common bench-stock choice in trade shops that regularly drill small-diameter holes for sheet metal work, conduit knockouts, fixture mounting, and component fabrication.

Key Features

• No. 44 wire size at 0.0810 inches diameter with a tolerance of -0.0005 to +0.0000 inches for consistent hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle for versatile use in non-ferrous metals and soft materials
• High speed steel construction with bright, uncoated finish for easy wear inspection
• Two-flute regular spiral geometry with a 14xD flute-to-diameter ratio for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank at 0.0810 inches diameter fits standard drill chucks directly
• Maximum drilling depth of 1.125 inches suitable for typical sheet stock and thin structural members

Compatibility

Designed as a standard wire-gauge jobber drill bit compatible with any three-jaw drill chuck sized to accept a 0.0810-inch straight shank, including hand drills, bench drill presses, and CNC drilling fixtures.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly sized drill chuck and tighten securely before use. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation during drilling. For best results in non-ferrous metals, use a cutting fluid or light lubricant and avoid excessive feed pressure that can deflect or snap a small-diameter bit. Disconnect power or lock out the drill press before changing bits per standard shop safety practice.
