Walter-titex 5061961 Taper Length Drill Bit 0.2810 in

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5061961 is a taper length twist drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in a wide range of metallic materials. Built from high speed steel with a coated finish, this bit features a parabolic flute geometry and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that improves chip evacuation and reduces thrust in deeper holes. The 130-degree split point provides clean entry and self-centering capability. With a 12xD flute-to-diameter ratio, the 5061961 is optimized for stack drilling, blind hole drilling, and through hole applications where standard-length bits fall short. Licensed tradespeople and machining professionals install this bit in drill presses, CNC machines, and handheld power tools.

This bit is suited for use in ferrous and non-ferrous materials including aluminum, aluminum silicon alloys, brass, bronze, copper alloys, stainless steel, and steel. The taper length design extends reach beyond jobber-length bits while maintaining rigidity. It fits applications requiring a maximum drilling depth of 3.543 inches and is built to DIN 340 standards, making it appropriate for precision production and maintenance drilling environments in industrial and commercial settings.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction with coated finish for improved wear resistance
• Parabolic flute design promotes efficient chip removal and reduces heat buildup
• Web-thinned, tapered web lowers cutting resistance and entry thrust
• 130-degree drill point angle with standard point type for accurate hole entry
• Right-hand cut with parallel shank for broad machine compatibility
• Built to DIN 340 standard for consistent dimensional accuracy

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style taper length drill bit conforming to DIN 340 standards, suitable for use in any drill press, machining center, or power tool accepting a 0.2810-inch parallel shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or tradespeople familiar with cutting tool safety. Secure the parallel shank firmly in the chuck or collet before operation and verify the workpiece is clamped or fixtured. Follow applicable machine guarding requirements and wear appropriate eye and hand protection. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or damage before each use and replace if chipping or dulling is observed.
