Walter-titex 5058297 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 16 Hss Oxide

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5058297 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose hole-making in cast iron and steel. Ground from high speed steel and finished with an oxide coating to reduce friction and extend service life, this bit features a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web for improved chip evacuation and easier penetration. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.1770 inches in diameter, compatible with standard drill chucks. With a regular spiral and 2-flute geometry rated at an 8xD flute-to-diameter ratio, this bit is built for productive cutting in both blind hole and stack drilling applications.

This drill bit is intended for use in ferrous metals including cast iron and steel in light industrial, maintenance, and fabrication settings. Its Series A1211 designation places it within a standardized product family conforming to ANSI, ISO, BS, and DIN specifications. It is suited for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-held power drills where a wire gauge size 16 hole is required. Typical users include machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working to close tolerances in production or repair environments.
