Walter-titex 5153726 Screw Machine Drill Bit 0.295 in

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5153726 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding industrial and trade applications. Built from cobalt and vanadium high speed steel, this bit delivers durability and heat resistance when cutting through tough workpiece materials. It features a 0.295-inch diameter, a 130-degree split point, and a parabolic flute geometry that promotes efficient chip evacuation. With a bright, uncoated finish and a right-hand cut direction, it suits a wide range of production and maintenance drilling tasks. Licensed machinists, tooling specialists, and skilled tradespeople install and use this bit with standard drill presses, CNC equipment, and hand-held power tools.

This bit is well suited for drilling cast iron, stainless steel, hardened materials, non-ferrous metals, and general steel in screw machine and production settings. The screw machine length format keeps the bit compact and rigid, reducing deflection in close-tolerance and repetitive hole applications. The parabolic flute design, combined with a web-thinned and tapered web configuration, supports aggressive feed rates while maintaining control. It meets DIN and ISO standards, making it appropriate for both domestic and international specification work. The series A1148 designation places it in a recognized product family engineered for universal tool performance across a broad range of material types.

Key Features

• Parabolic flute geometry with web-thinned, tapered web for efficient chip removal
• Screw machine length body provides added rigidity and reduced deflection
• Right-hand cut, straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Conforms to DIN, ISO, and BS standards for dimensional and performance consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style tooling replacement for screw machine and production drilling applications. Compatible with primary workpiece materials including cast iron, hard material, non-ferrous metal, stainless steel, and steel as specified by the manufacturer. No specific machine model compatibility is listed by the manufacturer for this SKU.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed and operated by machinists and skilled trades personnel using standard three-jaw or collet-style drill chucks. Before changing or installing tooling, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out per applicable lockout/tagout procedures. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant at the workpiece surface to extend tool life when drilling stainless steel or hard materials, noting this bit does not support coolant-through delivery. Do not exceed the recommended maximum drilling depth of 0.900 inches per pass without withdrawing the bit to clear chips.
