Walter-titex 5059466 Jobber Drill Bit 29/64 Inch Hss

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5059466 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, this bit measures 29/64 inch (0.4531 inch decimal) in diameter with a 5-19/32 inch overall length and a parabolic flute geometry. The 130-degree drill point angle and web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduce thrust and improve chip evacuation. Licensed HVAC and mechanical tradespeople, industrial maintenance techs, and experienced fabricators working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials will find this bit suited to demanding production and service environments.

This drill bit is built for blind hole drilling and stack drilling applications. The parabolic flute design provides an 8xD flute-to-diameter ratio, supporting deeper chip clearance in confined bores. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without an adapter. Right-hand cut geometry is standard for conventional drill press and hand-held drill motor use. The oxide finish provides a degree of surface hardness and lubricity appropriate for dry or minimally lubricated drilling in steel and cast iron.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for extended wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 130-degree drill point angle optimized for steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metal entry
• Parabolic flute geometry with 8xD ratio for efficient chip removal in deep blind holes
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces cutting thrust and improves point stability
• Straight-cylindrical shank (29/64 inch diameter) fits standard drill chucks directly
• Meets ANSI and ISO standards with BS and DIN specification designations

Compatibility

Rated for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metal, and steel workpieces. Suitable for blind hole and stack drilling operations. Part of the WALTER-TITEX Series A1222 high-performance jobber drill line.

Installation Notes

Install in a drill press or hand-held drill motor with a chuck rated for the 29/64 inch straight-cylindrical shank. Secure the workpiece before drilling and confirm chuck runout is within acceptable tolerance to maintain the h8 diameter tolerance of the bit. Follow applicable shop safety procedures including eye protection and proper work-holding. Avoid exceeding the maximum drilling depth of 2.992 inches to prevent flute overload and chip packing.
