Walter-titex 5061848 Taper Length Drill Bit 1/8 in Hss

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5061848 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in metals and non-ferrous alloys. Built from high speed steel with a coated finish, this 1/8 inch diameter bit features a 130-degree split point and a parabolic flute geometry for improved chip evacuation and reduced thrust. It carries a parallel shank at 0.1250 inches diameter and an overall length of 4.1875 inches, making it well-suited for reaching deeper workpieces than standard jobber-length bits. The web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces cutting resistance at the drill tip. This bit is handled by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance trades working with precision metal components.

The 5061848 is engineered for use in aluminum, aluminum silicon alloys, brass, bronze, copper alloys, stainless steel, and steel. Its 12xD flute-to-diameter ratio and maximum drilling depth of 2.480 inches support blind hole drilling, through hole drilling, and stack drilling operations. The parabolic flute profile maintains chip flow at higher feed rates, making this bit particularly effective in production and repetitive-hole applications where interrupted chip packing is a concern.

Key Features

• 1/8 inch (0.1250 inch) diameter with right-hand cut and parallel shank
• 130-degree standard point angle with web thinning for reduced entry force
• Parabolic flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation in deep holes
• Coated high speed steel construction rated for high-performance grade applications
• Tapered web configuration with 12xD flute-to-diameter ratio
• Conforms to DIN 340 standard for taper length drill geometry

Compatibility

Designed for use in aluminum, aluminum silicon, brass, bronze, copper alloy, stainless steel, and steel. Suitable for blind hole, through hole, and stack drilling applications. Part of the WALTER-TITEX Series A1522 taper length drill line conforming to DIN 340.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed in a compatible drill chuck or collet matched to a 0.1250 inch parallel shank. Machinists and metalworking technicians should verify spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material before drilling. Secure the workpiece firmly before operation to prevent walking at drill entry. Do not exceed the maximum drilling depth of 2.480 inches in a single pass without retracting to clear chips.
