Titan Usa TC20223 Drill Bit Size 23 Solid Carbide 135 Deg

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC20223 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-precision drilling in metal, hard plastics, and other demanding materials. Built from solid carbide, this bit delivers superior hardness and wear resistance compared to high-speed steel alternatives. It features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking on entry and lowers the thrust required to start the hole. At 2 inches overall length, the stub-style body provides rigidity and minimizes deflection during short-hole drilling operations. The bright, uncoated finish means no coating-related heat buildup concerns. This bit is sized to wire gauge number 23, which corresponds to 0.154 inches in decimal inch measurement.

This drill bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling applications where hole accuracy and tool life are priorities. The screw machine length format is commonly used in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and turret lathes where a shorter, stiffer tool reduces runout. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance professionals working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals will find this bit appropriate for close-tolerance work. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 135-degree split point reduces drill walking and decreases feed force at entry
• Screw machine (stub) length of 2 inches overall provides rigidity and minimizes deflection
• Regular spiral flute with 0.875 inches of flute length promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluids
• Right-hand cutting direction with straight cylindrical shank for universal chuck compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for applications requiring a wire gauge number 23 diameter drill bit within the 0.150 to 0.200 inch decimal inch size range.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed and serviced by machinists and maintenance technicians using standard drill chucks or collet systems compatible with straight cylindrical shanks. Ensure the spindle and workpiece are properly secured before operation to prevent movement and bit breakage. Solid carbide tooling is brittle and should not be used in applications with significant lateral loading or interrupted cuts without verifying suitability. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve hole finish.
