Built from solid carbide, it delivers exceptional hardness and wear resistance compared to high-speed steel alternatives. The 135-degree split point reduces walking on entry and requires less thrust to penetrate the workpiece. At 1.5 inches overall length with a 0.5-inch flute length, this stub-length geometry provides added rigidity, making it well suited for drilling in tight spaces or on short-travel spindles. The bright uncoated finish is compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is sized at No. 43 wire gauge, equivalent to 0.0890 inches in diameter. It is intended for use in screw machines, CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand-operated equipment where stub-length rigidity is preferred. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters. Its compact length makes it a common choice for tapping prep holes, through-holes in thin stock, and precision location work where deflection must be minimized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for extended tool life in abrasive and hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point for reduced thrust and self-centering on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew machine (stub) length at 1.5 inches OAL for maximum rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.0890 inch diameter, No. 43 wire gauge sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting with regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish compatible with most cutting lubricants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling addition for screw machines, CNC lathes, and drill presses accepting straight cylindrical shank drill bits in the 0.0000 to 0.1000 inch diameter range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit should be installed and tightened securely in a compatible drill chuck or collet before operation. Power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling, per standard OSHA lockout\/tagout procedures. Solid carbide is brittle compared to high-speed steel — avoid side loading, interrupted cuts without adequate support, or dropping the bit, as chipping or fracture can result. Use an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve hole finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 43\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0890 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\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\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\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\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: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241635\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: TC20243\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TITAN USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749162975538,"sku":"TC20243","price":28.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/edf2575ef597bb8f9d8401683cfc1a0a_e4d970c9-49e2-429c-b4c2-746c25bb400a.jpg?v=1788902816","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/titan-usa-tc20243-drill-bit-size-43-solid-carbide-135-deg","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
