Titan Usa CD47740 Jobber Drill Bit No. 42 Hss Tin

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD47740 is a No. 42 wire gauge jobber-length drill bit designed for precision drilling in non-ferrous metals and similar materials. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, this bit delivers extended tool life and reduced friction compared to uncoated HSS. The 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose drilling across a wide range of workpiece materials. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.0980 inches in diameter, and the overall length is 2.375 inches. With 2 spiral flutes and a right-hand cutting direction, chip evacuation remains clean and consistent throughout the cut. Installation is handled by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who need reliable, repeatable hole sizing in production or service environments.

The CD47740 is sized at 0.0980 inches (decimal) in the No. 42 wire gauge classification, placing it in the 0.0500 to 0.1000 inch diameter range. It is suited for drilling non-ferrous metals, plastics, and comparable materials where a standard 118-degree point geometry is appropriate. The flute length of 1.375 inches defines the maximum drilling depth per pass. The regular spiral flute geometry and 14xD flute-to-diameter ratio make this bit a practical choice for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and handheld power tools that accept straight-shank bits in this diameter class.

Key Features

• No. 42 wire gauge size — 0.0980 inches decimal diameter
• TiN coating over HSS substrate for extended wear resistance and lower cutting friction
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling
• 2-flute right-hand spiral design with 1.375 inches of flute length for clean chip removal
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks accepting 0.0980-inch shanks
• No coolant-through requirement — suitable for dry or flood-coolant setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service-stock drill bit for use in standard drill chucks and collet systems that accept straight-shank bits in the 0.0500 to 0.1000 inch diameter range. Part of the TITAN USA Series CD47 jobber drill line.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly sized drill chuck or collet and tighten securely before operation. Power down or de-energize the machine completely before changing bits. Verify the chuck or collet capacity covers the 0.0980-inch shank diameter before insertion. Do not exceed the rated maximum drilling depth of 1.375 inches per pass without retracting to clear chips.
