Walter-titex 5057101 Screw Machine Drill Bit 0.0465 in

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5057101 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built from cobalt vanadium high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this bit delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed for demanding production and maintenance drilling. The 130-degree split point reduces walking and decreases the thrust required to start the hole. At 0.0465 inches in diameter (wire gauge #56), it is sized for precision small-diameter work. A parabolic flute geometry improves chip evacuation, and the web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces cutting resistance. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors as well as machine shop technicians are the primary installers of tooling in this class.

The 5057101 is suited for drilling cast iron, stainless steel, carbon steel, hard materials, and non-ferrous metals in production and service environments. Its screw machine length body keeps the overall length compact at 30.00 mm, providing rigidity in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-held power tools where stub-length tooling is preferred. The 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports a maximum drilling depth of 0.2000 inches (6.00 mm), making it appropriate for shallow, precise bores in tight-clearance applications such as sheet metal, electrical enclosures, and mechanical assemblies.

Key Features

• Cobalt vanadium high speed steel construction for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life in hard materials
• 130-degree split point reduces thrust and minimizes drill walk on entry
• Parabolic flute profile accelerates chip evacuation and reduces chip packing in deep passes
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers cutting resistance without sacrificing core strength
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Meets DIN, ISO, and BS specification designations for dimensional and performance standards

Compatibility

Designed as a Series A1148 screw machine length drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks. Primary workpiece materials include cast iron, stainless steel, carbon steel, hard materials, and non-ferrous metals as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly sized drill chuck rated for the shank diameter and confirm chuck runout is within acceptable limits before use on precision bores. Power down and de-energize any machine tool before changing tooling. Follow shop safety protocols and applicable OSHA machine guarding requirements when operating drill presses or CNC equipment. Do not exceed the manufacturer-rated maximum drilling depth of 0.2000 inches per pass without retracting to clear chips.
