Walter-titex 5537161 Screw Machine Drill Bit 0.2283in Carbide

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 5537161 is a solid carbide screw machine length drill bit designed for high-performance drilling in demanding industrial and machining applications. Built to Series A3289DPL specifications, it features a 5.80 mm (0.2283 inch) diameter, a 140-degree X-treme Plus drill point, and a double coating finish for extended tool life. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust force at entry. With coolant-through capability and a regular spiral flute configuration, this bit is suited for CNC machining centers and precision drilling operations. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary installers of this type of cutting tool.

The 5537161 is rated for use in cast iron, hard materials, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel, making it a universal-performance drill bit across a broad range of workpiece materials. The screw machine length profile — with a 1.1024-inch flute length and 2.5984-inch overall length — provides rigidity and accuracy in shallow-to-medium depth applications. It is appropriate for production drilling environments where tight tolerances and consistent hole quality are required. Maximum drilling depth is 0.7874 inches (20.00 mm). The straight-cylindrical shank (6.00 mm diameter) seats directly in standard drill chucks and collet holders.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction (grade K30F) for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials
• 140-degree X-treme Plus point geometry with web thinning for reduced entry thrust
• Coolant-through design supports high-speed drilling and chip evacuation in deep-hole applications
• Double coating finish extends tool life across ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces
• Screw machine length body (overall length 2.5984 inches) provides stability in tight setups
• Conforms to DIN and ISO standards with m7 diameter tolerance

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and conventional drill presses accepting straight-cylindrical shank tooling with a 6.00 mm shank diameter. Suitable for workpiece materials including cast iron, hard materials, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and steel, per manufacturer specification.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with cutting tool setup and CNC or manual drilling equipment. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Verify collet or chuck size matches the 6.00 mm straight-cylindrical shank before clamping. Always follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines when selecting feeds, speeds, and coolant delivery settings.
