Walter-titex 5153714 Screw Machine Drill Bit 0.234 in

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5153714 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding materials. Built from Cobalt Vanadium High Speed Steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit delivers consistent cutting performance across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The 130-degree split point initiates cutting quickly and reduces walking without a center punch. A parabolic flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, making it well suited for deeper hole applications relative to bit diameter. At 2-19/32 inches overall length with a 0.234 inch (15/64 inch, Letter A) diameter, this is a compact, stubby-format bit optimized for rigidity and reduced deflection.

This drill bit is intended for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-held power drills in production and maintenance environments. Primary workpiece materials include cast iron, stainless steel, hardened steel, non-ferrous metals, and other hard materials. The Series A1148 designation places it in a standardized product family built to DIN and ISO specifications. Typical users include machinists, industrial maintenance technicians, and fabricators working with tight-tolerance holes in production or repair settings.

Key Features

• Cobalt Vanadium High Speed Steel construction for heat and wear resistance in hard materials
• 130-degree split point reduces thrust force and eliminates center-punch requirement
• Parabolic flute profile promotes fast chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration lowers cutting resistance at the chisel edge
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks
• Screw machine (stub) length format increases rigidity and reduces deflection in short-reach applications

Compatibility

Designed as a screw machine length replacement or production drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting a straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for drilling operations in cast iron, stainless steel, hardened steel, non-ferrous metals, and other hard materials where a high-performance cobalt HSS bit is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a drill press, CNC spindle, or hand-held drill with a compatible chuck. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the chuck is tightened securely before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling stainless steel or hard materials to extend tool life, even though this bit does not have internal coolant-through capability. Follow applicable machine guarding and PPE requirements per OSHA and facility safety standards.
