Titan Usa CD68623 Extra Length Drill Bit 23/64 in Hss

Product Description

The TITAN USA CD68623 is an extra length, high speed steel twist drill bit designed for deep-hole drilling applications where a standard-length bit cannot reach. Built from uncoated high speed steel with a 118-degree standard point angle, this bit produces clean entry on a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The spiral flute geometry clears chips efficiently over the full 9-inch flute length, reducing heat buildup in the cut zone. At 12 inches overall length and a 23/64-inch (0.3594 inch) diameter, it suits metalworking, maintenance, and fabrication tasks that demand reach beyond a jobber-length bit.

This bit is suited for metal fabrication shops, industrial maintenance crews, plumbing and HVAC rough-in work where deep through-drilling in structural members or framing is required, and general machining applications. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard drill chucks on portable drills, drill presses, and magnetic base drills. Right-hand cutting direction makes it compatible with any standard forward-rotating spindle. Series 686 designates it as part of TITAN USA's extended-length line for consistent dimensional tolerances across the series.

Key Features

• Extra length 12-inch OAL and 9-inch flute length for deep-hole reach
• High speed steel construction handles general-purpose drilling in steel, aluminum, brass, and plastics
• 118-degree standard point angle for versatile material entry without pre-spotting on most applications
• Two-flute spiral design promotes efficient chip evacuation in deep bores
• Straight cylindrical shank at 23/64 inch fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Uncoated finish — easy to inspect for wear and resharpenable with standard drill-grinding equipment

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or addition for any application requiring a 23/64-inch diameter extra-length drill bit with a straight cylindrical shank in standard three-jaw or keyless drill chucks.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the drill chuck before operation and verify chuck key is removed before starting the spindle. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life, even though this bit does not have internal coolant passages. Reduce feed pressure near breakthrough to avoid grabbing and workpiece damage. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and resharpen or replace the bit when point geometry shows visible wear.
