Walter-titex 5059357 Jobber Drill Bit Size 17 Hss

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5059357 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in a range of metalworking applications. Sized at wire gauge 17 (0.1730 inches), it is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating that improves lubricity and extends tool life. The bit features a parabolic flute geometry with a 130-degree split point and web-thinned tip, reducing entry force and improving chip evacuation. With an overall length of 3-5/32 inches and a flute length of 1-27/32 inches, this bit suits production and maintenance drilling tasks performed by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals.

This drill bit is suited for blind hole drilling and stack drilling operations in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel. The straight-cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders. Its parabolic flute-to-diameter ratio of 8xD supports deeper drilling cycles with consistent chip clearing. The Series A1222 designation places it within a product line conforming to ANSI, ISO, BS, and DIN standards, making it appropriate for both domestic and international tooling specifications.

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill chucks and collet holders accepting a 0.1730-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for drilling cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel workpieces in CNC, manual mill, or drill press setups. Primary workpiece material codes K, N, and P as designated in the input specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or tooling professionals familiar with proper chuck seating and runout verification. Always secure the workpiece and confirm chuck tightness before beginning a drilling cycle. Cutting fluid or air blast is recommended for heat management, particularly in stack drilling or deeper blind hole applications. Follow applicable ANSI and shop safety standards when operating rotating cutting tools.
