Walter-titex 5061916 Taper Length Drill Bit 5/32 in Hss

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5061916 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for precision hole-making in a wide range of metallic workpieces. Built from high-speed steel with a coated finish, it features a 130-degree split point and a parabolic flute geometry that promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting resistance. The parallel shank measures 0.1560 inches in diameter and is compatible with standard drill chucks. At 4-11/16 inches overall length with a 3-1/16-inch flute, this bit is suited for deeper reach applications where a jobber-length drill would fall short. It carries a web-thinned, tapered web configuration and conforms to DIN 340 standards. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics working in production or job-shop environments are the primary users.

This drill bit is rated for use in aluminum, aluminum silicon alloys, brass, bronze, copper alloys, stainless steel, and carbon and alloy steels. Its 12xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports blind hole drilling, stack drilling, and through-hole drilling applications. The parabolic flute design helps maintain chip flow at higher feed rates without packing, making it a practical choice for CNC machining centers and manual drill presses alike. The maximum drilling depth reaches 2.795 inches, suitable for deeper bores that exceed standard jobber drill capacity.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction with a performance coating for extended tool life
• 130-degree point angle with web thinning for reduced thrust force on entry
• Parabolic flute geometry for efficient chip evacuation at elevated feed rates
• 12xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports deeper reach than jobber-length bits
• Rated for blind hole, stack, and through-hole drilling operations
• Conforms to DIN 340 standard for taper length drill bits

Compatibility

Designed for use in aluminum, aluminum silicon alloys, brass, bronze, copper alloys, stainless steel, and steel workpieces. Part of the WALTER-TITEX Series A1522 taper length drill program.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians familiar with drill press or CNC machining center operation. Ensure the spindle and workpiece are secured and all machine guards are in place before starting the cut. Verify chuck or collet holding diameter matches the 0.1560-inch parallel shank before tightening. Do not exceed the rated maximum drilling depth of 2.795 inches without retracting to clear chips.
