Titan Usa CD45512 Mechanics Drill Bit 3/16 in Hss Split Point

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD45512 is a mechanics drill bit designed for precision drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide and gold finish, this bit delivers reliable performance in general-purpose trade applications. The 135-degree split point tip reduces walking at startup, eliminating the need for a center punch on most surfaces. It features a straight-cylindrical shank at 3/16 inch diameter and an overall length of 3 inches. The spiral flute design clears chips efficiently during right-hand cutting operations. Installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and HVAC and plumbing professionals, this bit fits standard drill chucks and is sold individually.

This drill bit is suited for light-duty to medium-duty drilling tasks in residential and commercial maintenance settings. It is commonly used for sheet metal work, conduit installation, fixture mounting, and general repair applications where a 3/16 inch hole is required. The Series 455 designation places it within a consistent product line of mechanics-grade HSS drill bits. The 1-7/8 inch flute length provides adequate depth capacity for most standard drilling tasks encountered in field service work.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point reduces bit walking and eliminates center-punch requirements on most materials
• High speed steel construction withstands the heat generated during metal drilling
• Black oxide and gold coating provides corrosion resistance and reduces friction
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without modification
• Right-hand spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation
• 3-inch overall length suits tight-access drilling scenarios common in trade work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard mechanics drill bit compatible with any drill or drill press accepting a 3/16 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by hand into any standard 3-jaw keyed or keyless drill chuck. Secure the shank fully before operation and confirm chuck tightness. When drilling metal, use appropriate cutting fluid to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Wear appropriate eye protection in accordance with applicable shop safety standards.
