Walter-titex 5060479 Cobalt Drill Bit No. 37 0.1040 in

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5060479 is a cobalt jobber length drill bit in wire gauge size No. 37, with a decimal diameter of 0.1040 inches. It features a 130-degree split point and a parabolic flute geometry designed to improve chip evacuation and reduce heat buildup in demanding materials. The oxide coating adds surface hardness and corrosion resistance. At 2.25 inches overall length with a 1.1875-inch flute length, this is a high-performance bit built for production and maintenance drilling in tough workpiece materials. It is installed and used by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics working in metal fabrication, aerospace component work, and general industrial settings.

This drill bit is rated for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, carbon and alloy steel, superalloys, and titanium. It is suited for blind hole drilling and stack drilling applications. The parabolic flute profile with an 8xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports deeper drilling with controlled chip flow. The straight-cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders. Series A1247 designates this as part of a consistent family of cobalt jobber drills built to ANSI, ISO, DIN, and BS standards.

Key Features

• Cobalt construction with oxide coating for heat and wear resistance in hard metals
• 130-degree split point reduces thrust and self-centers on entry
• Parabolic flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation in deep holes
• Web-thinned, tapered web design lowers cutting force in difficult materials
• Rated for blind hole and stack drilling applications
• Conforms to ANSI, ISO, DIN, and BS standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill chucks and collet-style toolholders accepting a 0.1040-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and handheld power tools where the chuck capacity covers the shank diameter. Series A1247, sized for wire gauge No. 37 applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with drilling feeds, speeds, and toolholder practices. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation and verify runout is within acceptable tolerance for the application. When drilling stainless steel, superalloys, or titanium, apply appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and manage heat. Do not exceed the maximum drilling depth of 1.024 inches without retracting to clear chips.
