Walter-titex 5060460 Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit Wire 2

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5060460 is a cobalt, jobber-length drill bit in wire gauge size 2 (0.2210 inches decimal diameter), designed for high-performance drilling in tough and demanding materials. Built to Series A1247 specifications, it features a 130-degree split point for precise starting without center-punching and a parabolic flute geometry for efficient chip evacuation. The oxide coating adds surface hardness and lubricity to extend tool life under heavy use. At 3-21/32 inches overall length with a 2-15/64-inch flute length, it is sized for standard jobber-length drilling tasks. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and industrial tradespeople handling hard metals will find this bit suited to demanding production and maintenance applications.

This drill bit is engineered for right-hand cutting in blind hole and stack drilling operations. Its primary workpiece materials include cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, carbon and alloy steel, and superalloys including titanium-based materials. The straight-cylindrical shank (0.2210 inches diameter) fits standard three-jaw drill chucks. The 8xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports maximum drilling depths up to 1.890 inches, making it practical for through-holes and moderate-depth blind holes in production environments or field service work.

Key Features

• Cobalt construction with oxide coating for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 130-degree split point reduces thrust and enables self-starting entry
• Parabolic flute profile promotes fast, clean chip removal in deep-hole drilling
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces cutting resistance
• 8xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports drilling depths up to 1.890 inches
• Meets ANSI and ISO standards with BS and DIN specification designations

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard three-jaw drill chucks accepting a 0.2210-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for blind hole and stack drilling applications in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, steel, and superalloys including titanium.

Installation Notes

Installation of this drill bit requires a drill press, CNC machining center, or handheld drill rated for the shank diameter. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before starting. Power down and lock out all equipment before changing or inspecting bits. Follow applicable ANSI and shop-floor safety protocols when drilling superalloys or stainless steel, as these materials generate significant heat and cutting forces.
