Titan Usa TC20230 Size 30 Solid Carbide Screw Machine Drill Bit

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC20230 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-precision drilling in metalworking and machining applications. Built from solid carbide, this bit delivers superior hardness and wear resistance compared to high-speed steel alternatives. It carries a wire gauge Size 30 designation, corresponding to a decimal diameter of 0.1285 inches. The 135-degree split point geometry reduces walking and allows drilling to start without a center punch in many setups. With a compact 2-inch overall length, the screw machine format provides increased rigidity, making it well suited for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and turret lathes.

This drill bit is used in production machining environments where short, stiff tooling is required to maintain tight tolerances in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bright uncoated finish makes it a practical choice for applications where coating compatibility with cutting fluids or materials must be controlled. Machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and precision fabrication shops are the primary users. It is sold individually and fits standard straight-shank toolholders and chucks sized for 0.1285-inch diameter shanks.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high hardness and extended tool life in abrasive or hard materials
• 135-degree split point reduces thrust force and minimizes drill walking on entry
• Screw machine length format provides a rigid, compact profile ideal for CNC and turret applications
• Regular spiral flute with 0.75-inch flute length promotes consistent chip evacuation
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids and workpiece materials
• Right-hand cutting direction; straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for straight-shank drill chucks and collets accepting a 0.1285-inch diameter shank in screw machine, CNC, or bench drill press applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians familiar with proper chuck torque procedures and cutting parameters for solid carbide tooling. Solid carbide bits are brittle and should not be subjected to lateral loading or used in handheld drills where flex or vibration is likely. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the spindle is properly aligned before engaging the cut. Always follow shop safety protocols and machine manufacturer guidelines when changing or seating tooling.
