Walter-titex 5057215 Screw Machine Drill Bit 0.2441 in

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5057215 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding metalworking applications. Built from Cobalt Vanadium High Speed Steel with a bright/uncoated finish, it measures 0.2441 inches in diameter with a 2.75 inches overall length. The 130-degree split point reduces walking and improves entry accuracy, while the parabolic flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation. A tapered web with web thinning reduces thrust and extends tool life in production environments. This bit is sold individually but requires a minimum order of 10 units per purchase.

This drill bit is suited for screw machine operations and general-purpose metalworking where a compact, stub-length tool is required. Its universal tool performance rating and multi-material compatibility make it appropriate for job shops, production lines, and maintenance trades working across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous stock. The straight-cylindrical shank seats cleanly in standard drill chucks and collet holders.

Key Features

• Cobalt Vanadium High Speed Steel construction for heat and wear resistance in hard materials
• 130-degree split point reduces thrust and prevents bit walking on entry
• Parabolic flute design with 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio for efficient chip removal
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers cutting resistance and improves hole quality
• Screw machine (stub) length provides rigidity and reduces deflection in short-reach applications
• Meets DIN, ISO, BS, and DIN specification designations for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Rated for use in cast iron, hard materials, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel. Fits standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a 0.2440 inch straight-cylindrical shank. Part of the WALTER-TITEX Series A1148 stub-length cobalt drill family.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists and tool-and-die or maintenance trades using standard drill press, CNC, or hand-held equipment. Ensure the machine is de-energized and properly locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the chuck or collet and verify runout before drilling. Coolant-through is not supported on this bit; use external flood or mist coolant when drilling stainless steel or hard materials to manage heat.
