Walter-titex 5057212 Screw Machine Drill Bit 5/64 in

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5057212 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in metalworking applications. Built from Vanadium High Speed Steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit features a parabolic flute geometry and a 130-degree split point for fast chip evacuation and accurate hole entry. The straight-cylindrical shank and web-thinned, tapered web construction reduce thrust and improve centering. It is sized at 5/64 inch (0.0781 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 1.5 inches and a flute length of 0.469 inches. This bit is intended for use by machinists and trade professionals in precision drilling operations.

The 5057212 is suited for drilling aluminum alloy, aluminum silicon alloy, brass, copper alloy, stainless steel, and steel. Its screw machine length profile makes it well-matched for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual machines where a short, rigid bit is preferred for improved accuracy and reduced deflection. The parabolic flute design promotes efficient chip clearing even in deeper holes, making it a practical choice for production environments and repetitive drilling tasks.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by machinists and metalworking professionals using standard drill chucks or collet systems. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and secured before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to maximize bit life, particularly when drilling stainless steel or copper alloys. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use to maintain hole quality and dimensional accuracy.
