Titan Usa CD45516 Mechanics Drill Bit 1/4 in Hss Split Point

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD45516 is a mechanics drill bit designed for precision drilling in metal, wood, and general-purpose materials. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide and gold finish, this bit resists wear and reduces heat buildup during cutting. The 135-degree split point tip starts on contact without walking, eliminating the need for a center punch in most applications. It features a straight cylindrical shank measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and an overall length of 3.5 inches. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians rely on this type of bit for production and service drilling tasks where accuracy and tool life matter.

The CD45516 suits residential and commercial service environments where repeated drilling in sheet metal, steel plate, or structural components is required. The right-hand spiral flute design clears chips efficiently during through-hole drilling. With a 2-inch flute length, it handles moderate material thickness without regrinding. Typical applications include HVAC equipment installation, electrical panel work, plumbing rough-in, and general mechanical assembly where a standard 1/4-inch hole diameter is specified.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point eliminates bit walking on contact, no center punch required
• High speed steel construction handles repeated drilling cycles in metal and wood
• Black oxide and gold finish reduces friction and extends cutting life
• Right-hand spiral flute clears chips efficiently for clean through-holes
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without adapters
• 2-inch flute length accommodates typical material thickness in trade applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-inch straight-shank mechanics drill bit compatible with any 3-jaw keyed or keyless drill chuck accepting a 0.25-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit is performed by licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanics using standard electric or cordless drill drivers. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify it is centered before applying power. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hardened steel or stainless to extend bit life and reduce heat. Wear eye protection and ensure workpieces are clamped or secured before drilling.
