Titan Usa TC20205 Drill Bit Size 5 Solid Carbide 135 Deg

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC20205 is a screw machine length drill bit ground from solid carbide and designed for precision drilling in demanding shop and production environments. Wire size 5 corresponds to a decimal diameter of 0.2055 inches, placing it squarely in the 0.2000 to 0.2500 inch range. The 135-degree split point geometry reduces walking on entry and lowers thrust force compared to a conventional 118-degree point. At 2.5 inches overall length, the stub-length body provides rigidity and chatter resistance that longer jobber bits cannot match. This bit is suited for machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, and production drilling operations where hole location accuracy and tool life matter.

Screw machine length drill bits are a standard choice for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and turret lathes where short tool overhang is critical. The TC20205 fits production drilling of steel, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys where solid carbide outlasts high-speed steel in terms of wear resistance and cutting speed capability. The bright uncoated finish keeps the surface clean for applications where coating buildup or chemical interaction with the workpiece material is a concern. A straight cylindrical shank seats directly into standard drill chucks and collet holders without adapters.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for superior wear resistance and extended tool life versus HSS
• 135-degree split point reduces drill walk and decreases required entry thrust
• Screw machine (stub) length at 2.5 inches OAL provides maximum rigidity and reduced deflection
• 1.125-inch flute length with regular spiral geometry for efficient chip evacuation
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose and chemically sensitive applications
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard solid carbide screw machine drill for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and turret lathes accepting a straight cylindrical shank bit in the 0.2000 to 0.2500 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of solid carbide drill bits should be performed by qualified machinists or tool-and-die tradespeople familiar with proper speeds and feeds for carbide tooling. Ensure the spindle and chuck or collet are free of chips and runout before seating the shank. Carbide is brittle compared to HSS — avoid side loading, interrupted cuts without proper feeds, or dropping the bit on hard surfaces. Power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling in accordance with applicable OSHA and shop safety procedures.
