Walter-titex 5057208 Screw Machine Drill Bit 0.2283 in

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5057208 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding materials. Built from cobalt and vanadium high speed steel, it delivers the hardness and heat resistance required when cutting stainless steel, cast iron, hard materials, and non-ferrous metals. The 130-degree split point reduces walking and penetrates work surfaces quickly without a center punch. A parabolic flute geometry accelerates chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup during deep-hole drilling. At 2-19/32 inches overall length with a 0.2283-inch diameter, this bit is sized for short-reach applications where rigidity and positional accuracy matter. Licensed trades and machining professionals rely on this series for production and maintenance work.

The 5057208 fits applications in HVAC fabrication shops, plumbing and mechanical contractors, manufacturing maintenance, and general metalworking where a compact, rigid drill bit is needed. Its screw machine length keeps runout low and improves accuracy when drilling through steel structural components, stainless fittings, or cast iron housings. The straight-cylindrical shank seats in standard drill chucks and machine tool collets without modification. Universal tool performance rating means this bit handles both interrupted cuts and continuous-feed drilling across a broad range of workpiece materials.

Key Features

• Cobalt and vanadium high speed steel construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 130-degree split point reduces thrust force and eliminates the need for center-punching
• Parabolic flute design with web thinning promotes fast chip evacuation and cooler cutting
• Screw machine length (2-19/32 inches overall) provides superior rigidity and positional accuracy
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet-style tool holders
• Meets DIN, ISO, and BS standards; rated high performance grade for universal workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed for drilling cast iron, hard materials, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel. Compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders accepting a straight-cylindrical shank. Part of the WALTER-TITEX Series A1148 screw machine length program.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with drill press, CNC, or hand-held power tool operation. Secure the workpiece fully before drilling and confirm the chuck or collet is properly tightened to the straight-cylindrical shank. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for stainless steel and hard material applications even though the bit does not have through-coolant capability. Inspect the cutting edge before each use and replace when chipping or dulling is observed to avoid workpiece damage or bit breakage.
