Walter-titex 5060609 Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit 6.4 Mm

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5060609 is a cobalt jobber-length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in tough and abrasion-resistant materials. It carries a 6.4 mm (0.252 inch) diameter with a straight-cylindrical shank of equal diameter, making it compatible with standard drill chucks. The bit features a 130-degree point angle with web thinning for reduced thrust and easier chip evacuation. An oxide coating adds surface hardness and heat resistance. Overall length is 101 mm (3.976 inches), with a parabolic flute geometry that promotes efficient chip clearing in deep-hole applications. This bit is suited to licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

The 5060609 is built for drilling into cast iron, steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. It is rated for blind-hole and stack-drilling applications, making it appropriate for fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial service environments where material variety and hole quality are both critical. The parabolic flute and web-thinned point reduce heat buildup and improve centering, which is particularly valuable when working with stainless steel or superalloys where work hardening is a concern.

Key Features

• Cobalt construction with oxide coating for elevated heat and wear resistance
• 130-degree standard point with web thinning for lower thrust and improved self-centering
• Parabolic flute geometry at 8xD ratio supports efficient chip evacuation in deep cuts
• Right-hand cut, straight-cylindrical shank fits standard keyed and keyless chucks
• Rated for blind-hole and stack-drilling operations
• Meets ANSI, ISO, BS, and DIN standards; diameter tolerance h8

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-held power drills accepting straight-cylindrical shanks. Rated for primary workpiece material codes K (cast iron), M (stainless steel), N (non-ferrous metals), P (steel), and S (superalloys and titanium) per ISO material classification.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with rotating cutting tools and applicable shop safety standards. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify runout before drilling. No coolant-through capability is present on this bit; apply cutting fluid externally when drilling stainless steel, superalloys, or titanium to manage heat and extend tool life. Inspect the cutting edge before each use and replace the bit if chipping or wear is observed.
