Built from solid carbide, it offers significantly higher hardness and heat resistance compared to high-speed steel alternatives. The 135-degree split point geometry reduces walking at entry, allowing drilling without a center punch in most applications. At 3 inches overall length, this stub-length format minimizes deflection and increases stability in production and manual drilling setups. The bright uncoated finish is suitable for use with or without coolant on a wide range of workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for machinists, tool-and-die shops, production drilling operations, and maintenance technicians working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and fiber-reinforced materials. The screw machine length format makes it a common choice for drill press, CNC, and lathe tailstock applications where shorter cutting tools reduce chatter and improve hole accuracy. It is sold individually and is intended for professional shop use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces entry walking and lowers thrust force required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine (stub) length of 3 inches overall for improved rigidity and reduced deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with regular spiral flute for standard chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard drill chucks and collets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose drilling without coating-specific requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks and collets accepting a straight cylindrical shank.

Secure the shank firmly in a properly sized chuck or collet before operation, and verify spindle runout is within acceptable limits, as carbide is brittle and sensitive to lateral loading. Avoid using carbide drill bits in hand-held drills where side loading and vibration can cause fracture. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and do not force a chipped or worn bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Y\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4040 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.17 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: TITAN USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: TC20125\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TITAN USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730635456818,"sku":"TC20125","price":150.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/edf2575ef597bb8f9d8401683cfc1a0a_63fcca2a-45f6-4634-8890-a0d435aa35e1.jpg?v=1788720622","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/titan-usa-tc20125-drill-bit-letter-y-0-4040-in-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
