Walter-titex 5060480 Cobalt Drill Bit No. 38 0.1015 in

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5060480 is a cobalt jobber length drill bit in wire gauge size No. 38, with a decimal diameter of 0.1015 inches. It features a 130-degree split point and a parabolic flute design, making it a high-performance tool engineered for demanding drilling applications in hard and abrasive materials. The oxide coating adds surface hardness and lubricity to extend tool life under high-heat cutting conditions. With an overall length of 2.25 inches and a straight-cylindrical shank, it seats securely in standard drill chucks. This bit is sized for precision work and is typically installed by machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians operating drill presses or CNC drilling equipment.

The 5060480 is suited for drilling blind holes and stack drilling operations in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, carbon and alloy steel, and superalloys including titanium. The parabolic flute geometry improves chip evacuation in deep-hole applications, and the web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces entry thrust force. The flute-to-diameter ratio of 8xD supports drilling to a maximum depth of 1.024 inches. This bit is built to Series A1247 and conforms to ANSI, ISO, BS, and DIN standards, making it a direct fit for production and maintenance environments that require certified tooling.

Key Features

• Cobalt construction with oxide coating for high-heat and abrasion-resistant drilling
• 130-degree split point reduces walking and lowers entry force on hard materials
• Parabolic flute profile promotes efficient chip evacuation in blind hole and stack drilling
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces axial thrust during penetration
• Straight-cylindrical shank at 0.1015 inches diameter fits standard chucks without adapters
• Meets ANSI, ISO, BS, and DIN specifications for certified production use

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill chucks and CNC drilling equipment that accept a 0.1015-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Rated for primary workpiece materials including cast iron, non-ferrous metal, stainless steel, steel, superalloys, and titanium (material codes K, M, N, P, S).

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a drill press, CNC machine, or hand drill with an appropriate chuck. Ensure the machine is powered down and locked out before changing tooling. Secure the shank fully in the chuck with consistent clamping force to prevent runout. Do not exceed the recommended maximum drilling depth of 1.024 inches without retracting to clear chips.
