Titan Usa CD50216 Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit Wire 16

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD50216 is a cobalt jobber-length drill bit designed for cutting through stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium — materials that quickly destroy standard high-speed steel tooling. Built to Series CD50 specifications, the bit features a 135-degree split-point geometry that reduces walking at startup and lowers thrust requirements compared to a conventional 118-degree point. The cobalt construction with oxide and gold coating adds heat resistance and extends tool life in high-temperature cutting applications. At 3.375 inches overall length with a 2.1875-inch flute, it is proportioned for general-purpose machine and hand-drill work in fabrication, maintenance, and field service environments.

This bit is intended for drilling wire size 16 holes, equivalent to 0.177 decimal inch or 4.50 mm, in ferrous and exotic-alloy workpieces. It is suited for use in CNC drill presses, benchtop drill presses, and hand-held electric drills where a straight cylindrical shank is the required interface. Two right-hand spiral flutes with a regular spiral type provide efficient chip evacuation in through-hole and blind-hole applications. The 12xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports moderate drilling depths without excessive chip packing. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, maintenance technicians, and field fabricators working with stainless steel or titanium components will find this bit appropriate for production and repair drilling tasks.

Key Features

• 135-degree split-point tip reduces startup walking and lowers required thrust force
• Cobalt construction with oxide and gold coating resists heat buildup in hard-metal applications
• Wire size 16 diameter: 0.177 inch (4.50 mm)
• Two right-hand spiral flutes with regular spiral type for consistent chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank at 0.177 inch diameter fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• No coolant-through requirement — compatible with conventional cutting fluid application

Compatibility

Designed for drilling stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium workpieces. Compatible with any drill press or handheld electric drill accepting a straight cylindrical shank. Fits within the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch drill bit size range of Series CD50.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified maintenance technician should secure the bit firmly in a keyed or keyless chuck before operation, verifying zero runout to protect both the tool and the workpiece. Always apply a cutting fluid or coolant appropriate for stainless steel or titanium to reduce heat and extend tool life; dry cutting is not recommended with exotic alloys. De-energize and lock out the drill press or tool before changing bits or clearing chips. Dispose of chips with care — stainless and titanium swarf carries sharp edges and presents a skin-laceration hazard.
