Walter-titex 5057235 7/64 Inch Screw Machine Drill Bit

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5057235 is a screw machine length drill bit engineered for high-performance drilling in demanding shop and field environments. Built from cobalt vanadium high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it measures 0.1094 inches (7/64 inch) in diameter with an overall length of 1-13/16 inches. The parabolic flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, while the 130-degree split point reduces walking and cutting force on entry. Web-thinned construction with a tapered web further improves penetration. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical trades professionals as well as machinists rely on this bit for precision work in tight-clearance applications.

The 5057235 is rated for use in cast iron, hard materials, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and general steel stock. Its screw machine length profile - shorter than jobber length - provides added rigidity and accuracy when drilling on a drill press, CNC machine, or in a hand drill where bit deflection is a concern. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard three-jaw chucks. Maximum drilling depth is 0.40 inches, making it suited for shallow, precise through-holes and pilot holes in dense or abrasion-resistant workpieces.

Key Features

• Cobalt vanadium high speed steel construction for heat resistance in tough materials
• 130-degree split point for reduced thrust and self-centering entry
• Parabolic flute design promotes fast chip removal and reduces heat buildup
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration improves cutting efficiency
• Screw machine length provides extra rigidity versus standard jobber-length bits
• Right-hand cut with straight-cylindrical shank for universal chuck compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use in cast iron, hard materials, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel workpieces. Conforms to DIN, ISO, and BS specification designations. Part of the WALTER-TITEX Series A1148 line of high-performance screw machine length drill bits.

Installation Notes

Install in a standard three-jaw chuck appropriate for a straight-cylindrical shank. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before drilling to prevent movement. Follow shop safety protocols including eye protection and appropriate spindle speed selection for the workpiece material. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is evident.
