Walter-titex 5058358 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 71 Hss

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5058358 is a jobber length drill bit sized to wire gauge number 71, with a decimal diameter of 0.0260 inches. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, this bit is engineered for high-performance drilling in cast iron and steel. It features a standard 118-degree drill point angle, a two-flute spiral configuration with a regular spiral type, and a web-thinned tapered web for improved chip evacuation and reduced thrust in small-diameter drilling applications. Overall length is 1.0 inch, making this a compact tool suited to precision work in tight setups. It is intended for installation by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and skilled tradespeople working with metal substrates.

This bit is designed for blind hole drilling and stack drilling applications where a small-diameter, right-hand-cut tool is required. Primary workpiece materials include cast iron and steel. The straight-cylindrical shank with a diameter of 0.0260 inches fits standard collet chucks and drill presses configured for wire-gauge tooling. The Series A1211 designation places this bit within a general-purpose high-performance line conforming to ANSI, ISO, BS, and DIN standards. It is appropriate for both production and maintenance drilling in light manufacturing, fabrication, and mechanical assembly environments.

Key Features

• Wire size number 71 with a decimal diameter of 0.0260 inches for precision small-hole work
• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for wear resistance on steel and cast iron
• 118-degree standard drill point angle with web-thinned tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• Two-flute regular spiral design promotes efficient chip evacuation in blind holes and stack drilling
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard collet and keyless chuck systems
• Meets ANSI, ISO, BS, and DIN specifications; UNSPSC code 23241634

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct application tool for use in standard drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-held drilling equipment accepting straight-cylindrical shanks at 0.0260 inches diameter. Rated for cast iron and steel workpiece materials per Series A1211 general-purpose classification.

Installation Notes

This bit should be installed by a qualified machinist or trades professional familiar with small-diameter tooling. Secure the shank fully in a properly sized collet or chuck before operation and verify runout before drilling. Power down all equipment and lock out energy sources before changing or inspecting bits. Do not exceed the maximum drilling depth of 0.2720 inches in a single pass without clearing chips, particularly in blind hole applications.
