It features a 3 mm (0.1181 inch) diameter, a 140-degree split point, and a TiNAl (titanium aluminum nitride) coating that extends tool life in demanding materials. The bit measures 62 mm (2.441 inches) overall length with a 6 mm (0.236 inch) straight-cylindrical shank. Coolant-through design supports internal coolant delivery, making it well suited for CNC machining centers and automated drilling operations. This bit is sold individually and is part of the DC150-03-A1 series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is engineered for production and job shop environments where consistent hole quality across high-volume runs is required. Its screw machine length profile provides rigidity in short-reach applications. The universal tool performance rating and flute-by-diameter ratio of 3xD make it appropriate for cast iron, hardened materials, non-ferrous metals, and steel workpieces. It is a standard choice for machinists and tool-and-die professionals running drilling operations on vertical machining centers, drill presses, and multi-axis CNC equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in metal drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiNAl coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in steel and hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e140-degree point angle reduces thrust force and improves self-centering on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoolant-through design supports internal coolant delivery for chip evacuation and heat control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard ER collets and drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets DIN and ISO dimensional standards for consistent toolholder fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement drill bit for use in standard straight-shank toolholders and ER collet chucks accepting a 6 mm shank diameter.

Seat the shank fully in the collet or chuck and verify runout before beginning a drilling cycle. When using the coolant-through feature, confirm that coolant pressure and flow rate are set per the machine tool manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if edge condition is degraded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 mm (0.1181 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 62 mm (2.441 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 mm (0.787 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 mm (0.236 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 mm (1.420 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Drilling Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 mm (0.551 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.55 mm (0.021 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute-to-Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiNAl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: m7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Hard Material, Non-Ferrous Metal, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: DC150-03-A1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIN, ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241635\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.042 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: WALTER-TITEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6968709\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WALTER-TITEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749117526322,"sku":"6968709","price":109.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9c421e884831b1dd1234335822842515_9501931b-63ef-498c-bb95-9036aff0a60c.jpg?v=1788902280","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/walter-titex-6968709-screw-machine-drill-bit-3mm-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
