Titan Usa SD94736 Reduced Shank Drill Bit 9/16 in Hss

Product Description

The TITAN USA SD94736 is a reduced shank twist drill bit engineered for metalworking and general-purpose drilling applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers the hardness and heat resistance required for drilling ferrous metals, plastics, and wood composites. The bit features a 9/16-inch cutting diameter paired with a 1/2-inch reduced shank with flat, allowing it to chuck into standard 1/2-inch capacity drill chucks and presses without requiring a larger chuck body. The 118-degree split-point angle promotes clean entry and reduces walking on flat surfaces. A black oxide and straw finish provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting.

This drill bit is suited for use in production shops, maintenance and repair operations, and fabrication environments where a reduced shank configuration is needed to use larger-diameter bits in standard 1/2-inch drill chucks. It fits benchtop drill presses, magnetic drills, and handheld corded or cordless drill drivers with 1/2-inch chuck capacity. The Series 623 designation identifies it within TITAN USA's standard HSS drill line, making it a practical replacement or addition to an existing set.

Key Features

• 9/16-inch cutting diameter with 1/2-inch reduced shank for compatibility with standard 1/2-inch chucks
• High-speed steel construction for durability across metal, plastic, and wood materials
• 118-degree drill point angle for general-purpose entry and reduced bit walking
• Reduced shank with flat (3 flats) provides secure chuck engagement and prevents slipping
• Black oxide and straw finish for moderate corrosion resistance and reduced friction
• 2-flute design promotes chip evacuation during through-hole drilling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use drill bit for any drill press or handheld drill with a standard 1/2-inch chuck capacity. Compatible with applications requiring a 9/16-inch bore diameter where a full-size shank is not practical.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or qualified tradespeople familiar with drill press and handheld drill operation. Always ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened against the flat shank before operation to prevent slippage. Secure the workpiece with a clamp or vise before drilling — never hold work by hand when using a drill press. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve cut quality.
