Walter-titex 5060270 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 72 0.025 in

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5060270 is a jobber length drill bit sized to wire gauge 72, equivalent to 0.0250 inches in diameter. Built from vanadium high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers consistent performance in demanding small-hole drilling applications. The 130-degree split point reduces walking on entry and supports web-thinned geometry for reduced thrust force. With a 2-flute spiral design and a regular helix, this bit is engineered for high-performance results in stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. The overall length is 26 millimeters (approximately 1.02 inches), making it suitable for compact setups where precision and tool rigidity are critical. Machinists and tool room technicians are the primary end users for this type of precision small-diameter tooling.

This drill bit is rated for use in stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium, materials that demand sharper geometry, tighter tolerances, and higher-quality substrate than standard HSS bits provide. It is suited for blind hole drilling and stack drilling applications. The Series A1244 designation places it within a standardized product family compliant with ANSI, ISO, BS, and DIN specifications, making it a reliable choice for shops operating under documented tooling standards. The straight-cylindrical shank with a diameter of 0.63 millimeters seats directly in standard drill chucks and collet systems without adapters.

Key Features

• Wire gauge 72 sizing at 0.0250 inches diameter for precision small-hole work
• Vanadium high speed steel construction for elevated hardness and wear resistance in tough alloys
• 130-degree split point with web thinning reduces entry thrust and improves self-centering
• 2-flute regular spiral flute design for efficient chip evacuation in blind hole and stack drilling
• Right-hand cut with straight-cylindrical shank for standard chuck and collet compatibility
• Compliant with ANSI, ISO, BS, and DIN standards; diameter tolerance to h8

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a straight-cylindrical shank. Rated for drilling stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. Suitable for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand-held drilling equipment capable of accommodating a 0.0250-inch diameter bit.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of small-diameter precision drill bits should be performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians familiar with cutting parameters for high-hardness materials. Ensure the spindle, chuck, and collet are clean and free of runout before seating the bit, as even minor runout will break tooling at this diameter. Do not exceed the rated maximum drilling depth of 6.90 millimeters. Appropriate cutting fluid or coolant is strongly recommended when drilling stainless steel, superalloys, or titanium to manage heat and extend tool life.
