Walter-titex 5057066 Screw Machine Drill Bit Size 24

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5057066 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in metalworking applications. Built from vanadium high speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, this bit features a 130-degree split point and a parabolic flute geometry that promotes efficient chip evacuation. The overall length is 2-5/32 inches with a 7/8-inch flute length, making it well suited for compact, close-tolerance drilling. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces entry force and improves centering without a pilot hole. Machinists and tool-room professionals working in production and job-shop environments are the primary installers of this bit.

This drill bit is sized at wire gauge 24, corresponding to a decimal diameter of 0.1520 inches, placing it within the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch diameter range. It is designed for right-hand cutting with a straight-cylindrical shank that fits standard drill chucks. Primary workpiece materials include aluminum alloy, aluminum silicon alloy, brass, copper alloy, stainless steel, and steel. The Series A1148 designation identifies it within the WALTER-TITEX catalog family, and the bit meets BS and DIN specification designations. It ships individually as a single-piece package with a minimum order quantity of one.

Key Features

• Vanadium high speed steel construction for elevated hardness and wear resistance in metal drilling
• 130-degree split point for self-centering entry and reduced thrust on hard materials
• Parabolic flute geometry promotes fast chip evacuation in deep-hole drilling
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting force at the chisel edge
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids across a range of workpiece metals
• Meets BS and DIN specification designations for dimensional and performance standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill chucks accepting a straight-cylindrical shank; compatible with primary workpiece materials including aluminum alloy, aluminum silicon alloy, brass, copper alloy, stainless steel, and steel as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by machinists and metalworking technicians using drill presses, CNC machining centers, or hand-held power drills with a compatible chuck. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before drilling. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain dimensional tolerance. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit if chipping or rounding is observed.
