Guhring 9006050014000 Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit 0.0551 in

Product Description

The GUHRING 9006050014000 is a cobalt jobber-length drill bit engineered for demanding drilling applications in hard and abrasive materials. Built to M35 cobalt material grade and manufactured to DIN 338 standards, this bit features a 130-degree split point that reduces walking on entry and lowers thrust force requirements. The web-thinned, tapered web construction further improves chip evacuation and cutting efficiency. At 0.0551 inches in diameter — equivalent to wire gauge size 54 — and with an overall length of 40.00 mm, this bit is suited for precision small-diameter work in production and maintenance environments. Licensed HVAC technicians, machinists, and maintenance professionals working with tight-tolerance applications will find this a reliable choice.

This drill bit is rated for use in titanium alloy (primary workpiece material code M and S per DIN classification), making it appropriate for aerospace, medical, and industrial fabrication work where standard high-speed steel bits lack the hardness to maintain edge integrity. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters. Right-hand spiral flutes pull chips up and out of the hole during operation, reducing heat buildup in the cut zone. The bright/uncoated finish is suitable for applications where coating buildup could affect critical hole tolerances.

Key Features

• M35 cobalt construction for drilling titanium alloy and other high-strength materials
• 130-degree split point reduces entry walking and cutting thrust
• Web-thinned, tapered web for improved chip flow and reduced heat
• DIN 338 standard jobber length with 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio
• Straight-cylindrical shank for universal chuck compatibility
• Right-hand, regular spiral flute with 2-flute configuration

Compatibility

Designed as a jobber-length replacement or production-use drill bit for applications requiring a 0.0551-inch (wire size 54) diameter hole in titanium alloy and similarly rated high-strength workpiece materials per DIN 338 Series 605 specification.

Installation Notes

Install in a standard drill press, CNC machining center, or hand drill with a chuck rated for the shank diameter before beginning any drilling operation. Secure the workpiece firmly and verify spindle runout is within acceptable limits when working at this diameter to prevent bit deflection or breakage. Use appropriate cutting fluid for titanium alloy work to manage heat and prolong tool life. Inspect the cutting edges before each use — at this diameter, even minor edge damage significantly affects hole quality and dimensional tolerance.
