Walter-titex 5057057 Screw Machine Drill Bit 0.177 in

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5057057 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling across a wide range of materials. Built from Cobalt Vanadium High Speed Steel with a bright uncoated finish, this bit measures 0.177 inches in diameter (Wire Size 16) with an overall length of 2-9/32 inches and a flute length of 15/16 inches. The 130-degree split point reduces walking on entry and lowers thrust requirements. A parabolic flute geometry with a tapered web and web-thinned configuration promotes efficient chip evacuation, making it well-suited for production drilling and tight-tolerance applications. This bit is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

The 5057057 is used in metalworking environments where shorter-length rigidity and aggressive chip clearing are required. Its universal tool performance rating covers cast iron, stainless steel, hardened steel, standard steel, and non-ferrous metals. The 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio and maximum drilling depth of 0.600 inches make it a practical choice for screw machine work, CNC drilling operations, and manual drill press use in job shops, maintenance facilities, and manufacturing environments. It conforms to DIN, ISO, and BS standards.

Key Features

• Cobalt Vanadium High Speed Steel construction for heat resistance in hard-material drilling
• 130-degree split point reduces entry walking and lowers axial thrust
• Parabolic flute with tapered web and web thinning for fast, clean chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Right-hand cut, 2-flute design for standard CW rotation machines
• Conforms to DIN, ISO, and BS standards for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Rated for use in cast iron, hard material, non-ferrous metal, stainless steel, and steel workpieces. Belongs to Series A1148 and is classified as a high-performance grade bit within the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch drill bit size range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists and tooling technicians in machine shop or maintenance settings. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the drill chuck before operation and confirm chuck runout is within acceptable tolerance for precision work. Power down all equipment before changing or inspecting drill bits. Do not exceed the recommended maximum drilling depth of 0.600 inches for this bit length.
