Titan Usa TC19223 Solid Carbide Jobber Drill No. 23

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC19223 is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit in No. 23 wire size, measuring 0.154 inches in diameter. It features a 118-degree split point for accurate self-starting entry and reduced walking on entry, and a bright uncoated finish suited for applications where coating-related dimensional buildup must be avoided. The regular spiral flute geometry and right-hand cutting direction make this a standard general-purpose drill for production and maintenance environments. With an overall length of 2.5 inches and a flute length of 1.375 inches, it fits standard drill chucks and collet holders accepting a 0.154-inch straight cylindrical shank. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and fabricators working in job-shop and production settings are the primary users.

This drill bit is intended for use on aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials classified under workpiece material codes P, M, K, N, and S. Its solid carbide construction provides the rigidity needed for clean, accurate holes in softer non-ferrous alloys where high-speed steel tooling may deflect. The TC19 series is a general-purpose line suited for drilling operations on CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand-held power tools when a collet or precision chuck is used. It is sold individually and is a direct replacement-type drill for standard wire-gauge drill sets in shops requiring carbide tooling for non-ferrous work.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides superior rigidity over high-speed steel in non-ferrous drilling applications
• 118-degree split point reduces thrust and improves hole entry accuracy without center-punching
• Bright uncoated finish maintains precise diameter tolerance of -0.0005 to +0.0000 inches
• Regular spiral flute with 9xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports chip evacuation up to 1.375 inches maximum drilling depth
• Straight cylindrical shank with zero flats fits standard drill chucks and ER collets
• Right-hand cutting direction; compatible with all standard clockwise-rotation spindles

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement jobber drill for applications requiring a No. 23 wire-size, 0.154-inch diameter carbide drill in straight-shank tooling systems. No specific machine or chuck model compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tooling technicians. Secure the straight shank in a precision drill chuck or ER collet holder to the manufacturer-specified runout tolerance before use. Solid carbide tooling is brittle and susceptible to breakage from side loading or interrupted cuts; verify workpiece fixturing is rigid and that feed rates are appropriate for the material before starting the spindle. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping before each use and replace the bit if edge damage is present.
