Titan Usa CD45509 9/64 in Mechanics Drill Bit Hss Split Point

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD45509 is a mechanics drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in professional and trade applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide and gold finish, it resists heat and wear during extended use. The 135-degree split point tip reduces walking on contact and requires less feed pressure than a standard 118-degree point. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 9/64 inches in diameter and seats securely in standard drill chucks. At 2.625 inches overall length, this is a compact bit suited for tight-clearance work. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during through-hole drilling in steel, aluminum, and similar materials.

This bit is sized at 9/64 inches (0.1406 inches decimal) and belongs to the Series 455 line. It is well-suited for automotive, HVAC sheet metal, plumbing rough-in, and general mechanical work where a compact, precision-ground drill bit is needed. The split point geometry makes it particularly effective on harder metals where standard points tend to skate before biting. It is sold individually and is a common consumable for service vans and shop toolboxes.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers feed pressure on hard metals
• High-speed steel construction withstands heat generated during metal drilling
• Black oxide and gold coating adds corrosion resistance and surface hardness
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without adapters
• Spiral flute design clears chips and prevents clogging during deep holes
• Compact 2.625-inch overall length suits confined or tight-clearance drilling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 9/64-inch straight-shank drill bit compatible with any drill or drill press equipped with a keyed or keyless 3-jaw chuck that accepts straight-cylindrical shanks.

Installation Notes

Use in a variable-speed drill or drill press; reduce speed for harder materials and increase speed for softer metals or aluminum. Secure the workpiece before drilling to prevent spinning. Eye protection and gloves are standard PPE when drilling metal. Replace the bit at first sign of dulling rather than applying excessive feed pressure, which can work-harden the material and damage the tip.
