Titan Usa TC29243 Drill Bit Size 43 Solid Carbide Altin

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC29243 is a screw machine length drill bit engineered for precision drilling in demanding shop and production environments. Built from solid carbide and finished with an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating, it delivers extended tool life and heat resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bit measures 0.0890 inches in diameter (wire size 43) with a 135-degree split-point geometry that reduces walking and allows self-centering on entry. Overall length is 1.5 inches, making it well suited for tight-clearance and short-reach applications. A licensed machinist or tooling technician is the typical end user.

This bit is designed for screw machine operations, CNC drilling, and general production drilling where a compact, stub-length tool is required. The right-hand spiral flute configuration and straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks and collet systems. It is appropriate for use in high-speed production cells, manual drill presses, and benchtop machining setups where accurate small-diameter hole generation is critical.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life in abrasive materials
• AlTiN coating provides high-temperature resistance and reduced friction at the cutting edge
• 135-degree split-point angle reduces thrust force and eliminates center-punch requirement
• Screw machine (stub) length at 1.5 inches OAL minimizes deflection in short-reach drilling
• Right-hand spiral flute with 0.5-inch flute length for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide drill bit for production drilling applications requiring wire size 43 (0.0890 inch diameter) tooling in standard straight-shank drill chucks and collet systems.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Secure the straight cylindrical shank fully within the chuck or collet to the recommended grip depth for the holder being used. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear before each use, as carbide tooling can fracture if run in an inappropriate feed-and-speed condition.
