Walter-titex 5057185 Screw Machine Drill Bit 3/16 in

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5057185 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding trade and industrial applications. Built from cobalt vanadium high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this bit measures 0.1875 inches (3/16 inch) in diameter with an overall length of 2-7/16 inches. The 130-degree split point reduces walking and punch marks on entry, while the parabolic flute geometry improves chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup. Right-hand cut direction and a straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard drill chucks. This bit is suited for machinists, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and other trades requiring precision hole-making in tight or confined setups.

The 5057185 is built for use across a wide range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, hard materials, and non-ferrous metals. Its screw machine length profile - shorter than jobber length - provides added rigidity and reduced deflection, making it well suited for drill press work, CNC applications, and hand-drill use in space-constrained environments. The 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio and tapered web configuration support consistent performance in production drilling scenarios. This bit ships individually and is sold in minimum order quantities of 5 units.

Key Features

• Cobalt vanadium high speed steel construction for heat resistance and edge retention in tough materials
• 130-degree split point reduces entry walking and lowers thrust requirements
• Parabolic flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces friction
• Web-thinned tapered web for improved cutting action and reduced heat at the tip
• Screw machine (stub) length provides greater rigidity and reduced deflection versus jobber length bits
• Meets DIN, ISO, and BS specification standards for dimensional accuracy and performance grade

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard straight-shank drill chucks across drill presses, CNC machines, and hand drills. Compatible workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, hard materials, and non-ferrous metals. Conforms to Series A1148 specifications per DIN, ISO, and BS standards.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and serviced by machinists, pipefitters, and trade professionals using standard drill chucks - no specialized tooling required for mounting. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before drilling to prevent movement and reduce the risk of bit deflection or breakage. When drilling stainless steel or hard materials, use appropriate cutting fluid to extend bit life and maintain surface quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace bits showing signs of wear or chipping to maintain hole tolerance.
