Walter-titex 5337285 Jobber Drill Bit Size 16 0.177 in

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5337285 is a jobber length drill bit in wire gauge size 16, equivalent to 0.1770 inches in diameter, designed for high-performance drilling in demanding trade and industrial applications. Built from Vanadium High Speed Steel with an Xtreme Performance coating, this bit delivers extended tool life compared to uncoated HSS alternatives. It features a 130-degree drill point angle with web thinning for reduced thrust and cleaner entry, and a spiral flute design with a regular spiral type for efficient chip evacuation. Overall length is 80 mm (approximately 3.15 inches), with a flute length of 47 mm (approximately 1.85 inches). The straight-cylindrical shank diameter is 4.49 mm (0.1770 inches), compatible with standard drill chucks. This bit belongs to the Series A1249XPL and meets ANSI and ISO standards.

This drill bit is suited for blind hole drilling and stack drilling operations across a range of workpiece materials, including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and carbon steel. It performs in both production shop and field service environments where consistent hole quality and dimensional accuracy are required. The maximum drilling depth is 39 mm (approximately 1.535 inches), making it appropriate for through-hole and moderate-depth blind hole work. It is commonly used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working with ferrous and non-ferrous stock.

Compatibility

Designed as a jobber length replacement or production drill bit for use in standard drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-held power drills equipped with a chuck accepting a 0.1770-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for applications requiring wire gauge size 16 tooling within the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch decimal inch drill bit size range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with rotating cutting tool safety. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the drill chuck before operation and confirm runout is within acceptable limits for the application. Power down and de-energize or fully stop any spindle before changing tooling. Do not exceed the recommended maximum drilling depth of 39 mm (approximately 1.535 inches) per the part specifications.
