Walter-titex 5057233 Screw Machine Drill Bit 7/16 in

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5057233 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 delivers the heat resistance and edge retention needed when cutting through tough workpiece materials. It features a 130-degree split point, a parabolic flute geometry, and a web-thinned tapered web configuration, all of which reduce cutting force and improve chip evacuation. The 7/16 inch (0.4375 inch) diameter and compact screw machine length make it well suited for use in tight spaces and production drilling environments.

This drill bit is rated for use on cast iron, hard materials, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel, making it a versatile choice across metalworking, fabrication, maintenance, and repair operations. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters. The screw machine length format - shorter than a jobber bit - reduces deflection and improves rigidity in drill press and CNC turret applications. Machinists, tool and die tradespeople, and maintenance technicians working in shops or field settings will find this bit appropriate for production and general-purpose hole-making tasks.

Key Features

• Cobalt vanadium high speed steel construction for elevated heat resistance and longer tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 130-degree split point reduces walking and lowers thrust force at drill entry
• Parabolic flute profile promotes efficient chip evacuation, reducing packing and heat buildup
• Web-thinned tapered web improves cutting efficiency and reduces axial load
• Screw machine (stub) length format increases rigidity and minimizes deflection versus jobber-length bits
• Meets DIN, ISO, and BS dimensional standards for interchangeability with compatible toolholding systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use screw machine drill bit compatible with standard straight-cylindrical shank drill chucks and turret heads across drill press, CNC, and handheld drilling equipment rated for the 7/16 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and serviced by machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance tradespeople familiar with metalworking equipment. Before changing bits, ensure the drill press or powered equipment is fully de-energized and the chuck is stationary. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank fully in the chuck to the appropriate grip depth before tightening. Follow applicable shop safety protocols and equipment manufacturer guidelines for speeds and feeds when drilling stainless steel or hard materials.
