Walter-titex 5060559 Jobber Drill Bit 2.7mm Cobalt

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5060559 is a cobalt jobber length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding materials. Built to Series A1247 specifications, it measures 2.7 mm (0.1063 inches) in diameter with a 2-13/32 inch overall length and a parabolic flute geometry that promotes efficient chip evacuation. The 130-degree split point reduces walking on entry and cuts aggressively through hard and abrasive workpiece materials. The oxide coating adds surface hardness and heat resistance, extending tool life in production drilling environments. This bit is suited for licensed machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, and maintenance mechanics running drill presses, CNC equipment, or hand-held power tools.

The 5060559 is rated for use in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, carbon and alloy steel, superalloys, and titanium. It supports blind hole drilling and stack drilling applications where consistent geometry and chip control are critical. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters, and the 8xD flute-to-diameter ratio accommodates deeper penetration up to 1.102 inches (28 mm) maximum drilling depth. This bit is appropriate for both production-floor and maintenance-repair-operations (MRO) use cases.

Key Features

• Cobalt construction with oxide coating for heat resistance and extended tool life in hard materials
• 130-degree split point reduces entry walking and improves hole accuracy without a center punch
• Parabolic flute profile accelerates chip evacuation in blind hole and stack drilling
• 8xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports drilling depths up to 28 mm (1.102 inches)
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust load at the cutting edge
• Meets ANSI and ISO standards; specification designations include BS and DIN

Compatibility

Designed for use with cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, carbon and alloy steel, superalloys, and titanium workpieces. Compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.1063-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Part of the WALTER-TITEX Series A1247 product family covering the 2.00 mm to 3.00 mm diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with cutting tool setup. Secure the shank fully in a properly sized chuck before operation and verify chuck runout is within acceptable limits to avoid premature bit wear. Observe appropriate cutting speeds and feeds for the target workpiece material per the manufacturer or shop engineering guidance. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace when wear affects hole tolerance or finish quality.
