Walter-titex 5059356 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 16 Hss

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5059356 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, this bit carries a wire gauge size of 16, corresponding to a decimal diameter of 0.177 inches. The parabolic flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, reducing heat buildup and extending tool life in demanding production environments. It features a standard 130-degree split point for accurate self-centering on entry, minimizing walking on flat and curved surfaces. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical contractors, as well as machining tradespeople, will find this bit suited to general-purpose metal drilling.

The 5059356 is built for blind hole drilling and stack drilling applications across cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel. Its parabolic flute-to-diameter ratio of 8xD supports deeper cuts with effective chip removal. The straight cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks, making it compatible with handheld drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling setups commonly used in fabrication and field mechanical work. The Series A1222 designation places this bit within a high-performance product line conforming to ANSI, ISO, BS, and DIN standards.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel workpieces, conforming to ANSI, ISO, BS, and DIN standards for jobber-length drill bits. Suitable for handheld, drill press, and CNC drilling machine applications accepting a straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the drill chuck before operation and verify chuck key removal prior to powering the machine. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to maintain bit temperature and extend service life, noting this bit does not support internal coolant-through delivery. Inspect the cutting edges and web before each use. Replacement and sharpening should be performed by qualified tooling personnel using appropriate grinding equipment.
