Walter-titex 5057096 Screw Machine Drill Bit 0.067 in

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5057096 is a screw machine length drill bit engineered for high-performance drilling in demanding metalworking applications. Manufactured from cobalt vanadium high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this bit carries a 130-degree split point and a parabolic flute geometry. The straight-cylindrical shank and web-thinned, tapered web construction reduce entry force and improve chip evacuation. At 0.067 inches in diameter (wire size 51), it is sized for precision holes in tight-tolerance work. Licensed tradespeople and machining professionals install this tool in screw machine operations and short-hole drilling setups where rigidity and chip control are critical.

This drill bit is designed for use across a broad range of metalworking environments, including production machining shops, tool rooms, and maintenance facilities. Its universal tool performance rating makes it appropriate for cast iron, stainless steel, hardened materials, non-ferrous metals, and general steel stock. The screw machine length format provides added rigidity compared to jobber-length bits, making it well suited for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual screw machines where runout control matters.

Key Features

• Cobalt vanadium high speed steel construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 130-degree split point reduces thrust and enables self-centering entry without a center punch
• Parabolic flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers cutting resistance and improves hole quality
• Screw machine length body provides increased rigidity over standard jobber-length bits
• Meets DIN, ISO, and BS standards for dimensional and performance consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a screw machine length drill bit within the WALTER-TITEX A1148 series, compatible with straight-shank drill chucks on CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual screw machines configured for wire-size tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians following standard lockout procedures for all powered equipment. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a properly sized drill chuck before operation and verify runout with a dial indicator when tolerance work is required. Do not exceed the recommended maximum drilling depth of 0.300 inches per operation without retracting to clear chips. Eye protection and appropriate machine guarding are required per applicable shop safety standards.
