Walter-titex 5337273 Cobalt Drill Bit 1/16 Inch

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5337273 is a cobalt jobber length drill bit engineered for high-performance drilling in demanding materials. Built to M35 material grade with an AlCrN coating, this 1/16 inch diameter bit handles cast iron, stainless steel, carbon steel, and non-ferrous metals. The 130-degree split point reduces walking and thrust load at entry. The parabolic flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, especially in blind hole and stack drilling applications. At 1.693 inches overall length with a straight-cylindrical shank, this bit fits standard chucks and collet systems without modification. It conforms to DIN 338 and meets ANSI and ISO standards.

This drill bit is suited for tool and die, maintenance, fabrication, and production machining environments where frequent contact with hard or abrasive workpiece materials is expected. Blind hole and stack drilling are listed primary tool applications. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio and tapered web configuration support rigidity at this small diameter. Machinists, tool room technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals are the primary installers and users of this bit.

Key Features

• M35 cobalt construction for heat and wear resistance in hard-metal drilling
• AlCrN coating extends tool life when cutting stainless steel and cast iron
• 130-degree point angle reduces entry force and minimizes workpiece walking
• Parabolic flute design promotes chip evacuation in blind hole and stack drilling
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Tapered web configuration adds core strength at 1/16 inch diameter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and production-grade jobber drill bit for use in standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a 1/16 inch straight-cylindrical shank, consistent with DIN 338 and ANSI specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists and tool room technicians using standard drill presses, CNC machining centers, or hand-held drill motors. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation and verify runout is within acceptable limits for the application. Always use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material unless machine and setup conditions require dry cutting. Inspect the cutting edge for wear or chipping before each use, particularly when drilling stainless steel or hardened materials.
