Titan Usa CD40853 Jobber Drill Bit No. 53 Hss

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD40853 is a No. 53 wire gauge jobber-length drill bit designed for precision drilling in non-ferrous metals and similar materials. Manufactured from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it features a 118-degree standard point angle and a two-flute right-hand spiral configuration. The bit measures 1.875 inches overall length with a 0.875 inch flute length and a straight-cylindrical shank diameter of 0.0595 inches. The decimal inch diameter is 0.0595 inches, placing it within the 0.0500 to 0.1000 inch small-diameter range. This bit is suited for use in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC equipment where consistent hole quality in small-diameter applications is required.

The CD40853 is intended for drilling non-ferrous metals, plastics, and comparable workpiece materials in light manufacturing, maintenance, and trade applications. Its regular spiral type and 15xD flute-to-diameter ratio support efficient chip evacuation in shallow to moderate depth holes. The maximum drilling depth is 0.875 inches. It is sold individually and is appropriate for machinists, maintenance technicians, electricians, and plumbers requiring small-diameter pilot or clearance holes.

Key Features

• No. 53 wire gauge size — 0.0595 inch decimal diameter
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling
• High speed steel construction — suitable for non-ferrous metals and plastics
• Bright uncoated finish — allows easy visual inspection of cutting edge condition
• Right-hand, two-flute regular spiral for consistent chip removal
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length drill bit compatible with any drill press, hand drill, or CNC spindle chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank of 0.0595 inches in diameter. Part of the TITAN USA CD40 series of small-diameter high speed steel drill bits.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify runout before drilling. When drilling non-ferrous metals, use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant to extend tool life and maintain hole tolerance. Allow the bit to reach full speed before contact with the workpiece and avoid excessive feed pressure, which can snap small-diameter bits. Inspect the cutting edges before each use — the bright finish makes edge wear easy to identify.
