Walter-titex 5058563 Jobber Length Drill Bit 1/2 Inch Hss

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5058563 is a jobber length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose and high-performance drilling in cast iron and steel. It is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating that provides surface protection and reduces friction during cutting. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle, a web-thinned tapered web for easier penetration, and a 2-flute regular spiral configuration. At 0.5000 inches in diameter with an overall length of 5-15/16 inches and a flute length of 3-31/32 inches, this bit suits production and maintenance drilling applications. Installation is handled by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working with drill presses, CNC equipment, or handheld power tools.

The 5058563 is built for blind hole drilling and stack drilling operations in cast iron and steel workpieces. The straight-cylindrical shank at 1/2 inch diameter fits standard drill chucks across a wide range of machine tools. With a maximum drilling depth of 3.4250 inches and a flute-to-diameter ratio of 8xD, the bit handles moderate-depth holes in typical production and repair scenarios. It conforms to ANSI, ISO, BS, and DIN standards, making it suitable for shops that require documented specification compliance. The Series A1211 designation identifies this as part of a coordinated product family for consistent tooling programs.
