Titan Usa CD50201 Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit Wire 5

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD50201 is a cobalt jobber-length drill bit in wire gauge size 5, designed for drilling into hard and abrasive materials including stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. The bit features a 135-degree split point that self-centers on contact and reduces walking without a center punch. An oxide and gold coating improves lubricity and heat resistance during high-speed drilling operations. With an overall length of 3.875 inches and a flute length of 2.625 inches, this bit fits standard drill chucks and is sized for production and maintenance drilling applications in metal fabrication and mechanical trades.

This bit is well suited for metalworking professionals, machinists, and maintenance technicians who regularly drill stainless steel, superalloys, or titanium in shop and field environments. The 0.2280-inch diameter corresponds to wire gauge size 5, making it a direct fit for precision hole sizing applications where decimal inch accuracy is required. The straight cylindrical shank seats in standard keyless and keyed drill chucks. The 12xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports full jobber-length drilling depth up to 2.625 inches per plunge.

Key Features

• Cobalt construction resists heat buildup when drilling hard metals including stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium
• 135-degree split point self-centers on contact and reduces drill walking
• Oxide and gold coating improves lubricity and extends tool life in abrasive materials
• Two-flute spiral design with regular spiral type promotes chip evacuation during through-hole drilling
• Straight cylindrical shank with zero flats seats securely in standard drill chucks
• Diameter tolerance of -0.0007 to +0.0000 inches supports consistent, accurate hole sizing

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard drill chucks accepting a 0.2280-inch straight cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece materials are stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium as specified by material codes M and S.

Installation Notes

Installation of this drill bit is performed by machinists and metalworking technicians using drill presses, CNC machines, or hand-held power drills with appropriate chuck capacity. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement. Cobalt bits perform best with appropriate cutting fluid or coolant applied to the cutting zone to manage heat, even though this bit is not rated for through-coolant delivery. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace when the split point shows signs of wear to maintain hole quality and prevent workpiece damage.
