Titan Usa CD44230 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 30 Hss

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD44230 is a wire gauge size 30 jobber-length drill bit designed for precision drilling in demanding trade and industrial applications. Manufactured from high speed steel with a black oxide coating, this bit features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking on contact and minimizes the need for a center punch. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.1285 inches in diameter, matching the nominal drill diameter, for consistent chuck seating. With an overall length of 2.75 inches and a flute length of 1.625 inches, it fits standard drill presses, hand drills, and machine spindles used in fabrication, mechanical, and HVAC sheet metal work.

The CD44230 is suited for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys including titanium. The regular spiral, two-flute geometry provides efficient chip evacuation during through-hole and blind-hole drilling. It is a practical choice for HVAC technicians, pipefitters, electricians, and general trade professionals who require a reliable small-diameter bit for wire-gauge hole applications in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• Wire size 30 (0.1285 inches decimal) straight-cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility
• 135-degree split point reduces drill walk and cutting force on entry
• High speed steel construction withstands heat generated in ferrous and hard-alloy drilling
• Black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting
• Two-flute regular spiral design promotes efficient chip clearing and consistent hole quality
• Maximum drilling depth of 1.625 inches suits most through-hole and shallow blind-hole tasks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style jobber drill bit in the CD44 series, suitable for use in any standard drill press, hand drill, or CNC spindle accepting a 0.1285-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified personnel following applicable workplace safety standards. Always secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and verify the chuck is properly tightened to the shank. Operate at a spindle speed appropriate for the material and bit diameter to avoid overheating the cutting edge. Do not force the bit or use it as a lever, as small-diameter high speed steel bits are susceptible to breakage under lateral load.
