Walter-titex 5057165 Screw Machine Drill Bit 0.1024 in

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5057165 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-performance metal drilling in demanding trade and industrial applications. Built from cobalt vanadium high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this bit delivers durability across a broad range of workpiece materials. The 130-degree split point initiates clean entry without center-punching on most metals, and the parabolic flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation. At 0.1024 inches in diameter with an overall length of 1-11/16 inches, it fits screw machine and short-run drilling setups where rigidity and precision matter. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust requirements and extends cutting life on harder substrates.

This drill bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including stainless steel, cast iron, steel, and hard materials. The Series A1148 design targets universal tool performance, making it a practical choice for machinists, toolroom technicians, and fabricators working on CNC screw machines, drill presses, or hand-held power tools where a short, stiff bit is preferred over jobber length. Maximum drilling depth is 0.4000 inches, making it appropriate for shallow-hole applications in tight or limited-clearance workpieces.

Key Features

• Cobalt vanadium high speed steel construction for heat and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials
• 130-degree split point reduces walking and lowers entry thrust on hard metals
• Parabolic flute profile improves chip flow and reduces heat buildup during drilling
• Web-thinned tapered web decreases cutting resistance and extends tool life
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without additional tooling
• Compliant with DIN, ISO, and BS standards for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a screw machine length replacement drill for use in applications requiring a 0.1024-inch diameter bit compatible with Series A1148 tooling. Suitable for use in cast iron, hard materials, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel workpieces as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians familiar with drill press, CNC, or screw machine operation. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the chuck and verify runout before beginning a drilling cycle. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement during drilling. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines for spindle speed and feed rate appropriate to the workpiece material and bit diameter.
