Walter-titex 5057120 Screw Machine Drill Bit 1/16 in

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5057120 is a screw machine length drill bit engineered for high-performance drilling in demanding materials. Built from cobalt and vanadium high speed steel, this 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) diameter bit runs uncoated with a bright finish and features a parabolic flute geometry paired with a 130-degree split point. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust and improves centering at entry. Licensed under Series A1148 and conforming to DIN and ISO standards, it is suited for professional machinists and trade technicians who need consistent results in hard and abrasive workpiece materials.

This drill bit is intended for use in screw machine (stub length) drilling applications across residential and commercial trades and machine shop environments. Compatible primary workpiece materials include cast iron, hard materials, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and general steel stock. The compact screw machine length reduces deflection and improves rigidity in short-reach drilling setups. Right-hand cut direction makes it compatible with standard drill press and hand drill chuck rotation. Maximum drilling depth is 0.300 inch (7.00 mm).

Key Features

• Cobalt and vanadium high speed steel construction for heat and wear resistance in hard materials
• Parabolic flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation in deep-relative-to-diameter holes
• 130-degree split point with web thinning reduces walking and lowers required feed force
• Screw machine (stub) length body increases rigidity and reduces runout in tight setups
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks without adapters
• Meets DIN, ISO, and BS specification designations for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style screw machine drill bit for use in standard drill press, CNC, or hand-drill applications requiring a straight-cylindrical shank in 1/16 inch diameter. Rated for cast iron, hard materials, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and carbon steel workpieces per Series A1148 specifications.

Installation Notes

Install and service of this drill bit is performed by machinists, HVAC fabricators, pipefitters, or electricians working with metal stock. Power down and de-energize all connected equipment before changing bits. Secure the shank fully into the chuck and verify runout before beginning a cut. Do not exceed the rated maximum drilling depth of 0.300 inch per pass without retracting to clear chips.
