Walter-titex 5060396 Jobber Drill Bit 5.5 Mm

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5060396 is a jobber length twist drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding materials including stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. Built from vanadium high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this bit delivers consistent performance in production and maintenance drilling applications. The 130-degree point angle and web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduce entry force and improve chip evacuation. With a 5.5 mm diameter, a 93 mm overall length, and a spiral flute running 57 mm, it provides good reach for standard depth holes. Licensed trades and machining professionals install this type of tooling in CNC and manual drill press operations where material hardness demands a reliable HSS solution.

This drill bit is suited for blind hole drilling and stack drilling in metals that resist standard tooling. It is commonly used in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and aerospace-adjacent trades working with hard ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard keyless or keyed chucks. The 8xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports chip clearance in deeper drilling passes, while the right-hand spiral flute suits conventional drilling setups without special spindle requirements.

Key Features

• Vanadium high speed steel construction for durability in hard and abrasive materials
• 130-degree point angle reduces walking and improves entry on curved or hardened surfaces
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers thrust force and improves chip flow
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating buildup concerns during regrinding
• Spiral flute length of 57 mm supports chip evacuation in moderate-depth holes
• Meets ANSI, ISO, BS, and DIN specifications for dimensional accuracy
• Straight-cylindrical shank with h8 diameter tolerance fits standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style jobber length drill bit for use in standard drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand drills equipped with chucks accepting a 5.5 mm straight-cylindrical shank. Specified for primary workpiece materials classified under ISO material codes M and S, covering stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium.

Installation Notes

This tooling is installed by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance mechanics working in metal fabrication environments. Always power down and lock out the drilling machine before changing bits. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before running at speed. Coolant-through is not supported on this bit — use external coolant or cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material when drilling stainless steel or superalloys to manage heat buildup.
