Walter-titex 5057054 Screw Machine Drill Bit 0.185 in

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5057054 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding industrial and trade applications. It measures 0.185 inches in diameter and features a 130-degree split point for accurate positioning and reduced thrust on entry. Manufactured from cobalt vanadium high speed steel, it delivers the hardness and heat resistance needed for cutting through stainless steel, cast iron, hard materials, and non-ferrous metals. A parabolic flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and helps maintain cutting speed across a range of material types. This bit is part of the Series A1148 and carries DIN and ISO standards compliance.

This bit is sized for screw machine length applications where a shorter, stiffer profile is needed to minimize deflection in production drilling, maintenance, and repair work. It suits licensed machinists, pipefitters, and experienced fabricators working with metals that resist standard high speed steel tooling. The 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio and web-thinned, tapered web configuration make it effective for cross-drilling, through-hole work, and interrupted cuts in steel and stainless assemblies. Its bright, uncoated finish keeps it compatible with standard cutting fluids and regrinding procedures.

Key Features

• Cobalt vanadium high speed steel construction for increased red hardness in high-heat drilling
• 130-degree split point reduces walking and lowers entry thrust on hard materials
• Parabolic flute with web thinning promotes fast chip evacuation and reduces torque
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Meets DIN and ISO standards; designated BS and DIN specification compliance
• Universal tool performance rating covers stainless steel, cast iron, steel, and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill chucks accepting straight-cylindrical shanks. Primary workpiece materials include cast iron, hard materials, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel. Fits drill bit size range of 0.1500 to 0.2000 inches decimal inch class tooling setups.

Installation Notes

Install in a drill press, CNC machine, or hand drill with a chuck rated for the shank diameter before starting the spindle. Ensure the workpiece is secured and the machine is at the correct speed for the material and bit diameter before contact. Use appropriate cutting fluid for stainless steel and hard materials to manage heat buildup and extend tool life. Follow applicable OSHA and shop safety standards for rotating tooling and personal protective equipment.
