Walter-titex 7378096 Solid Carbide Screw Machine Drill Bit

Product Description

The WALTER-TITEX 7378096 is a solid carbide screw machine length drill bit engineered for high-performance drilling in demanding shop and field applications. It carries a 0.1693 inch (4.30 mm) diameter, a 140-degree X-treme point angle, and a web-thinned tapered web configuration that reduces entry force and improves chip evacuation. The two-flute spiral design combined with coolant-through capability keeps cutting temperatures controlled during deep or high-speed operations. Belonging to the A3299XPL series and conforming to DIN and ISO standards, this bit is sized and toleranced to m7 and suited for use on CNC machining centers, drill presses, and screw machine setups where consistent hole quality is required.

This drill bit is rated for use in cast iron, hard materials, non-ferrous metals, and steel, covering the broad range of workpiece materials common in precision machining and production environments. The screw machine length format — with an overall length of 2.5984 inches (66.00 mm) and a flute length of 0.9449 inches (24.00 mm) — provides rigidity in short-reach applications. The maximum drilling depth reaches 0.6693 inches (17.00 mm), and the straight-cylindrical shank diameter of 6.00 mm seats cleanly in standard drill chucks and collet holders. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in production shops or maintenance environments will find this bit a reliable general-purpose and universal advance performer across ferrous and non-ferrous stock.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction in material grade K30F for hardness and wear resistance in tough workpiece materials
• 140-degree X-treme point angle with web thinning for reduced thrust and clean entry on hard and cast iron materials
• Coolant-through design supports internal coolant delivery to extend tool life during deep or continuous drilling
• Two-flute regular spiral geometry at a 3xD flute-to-diameter ratio promotes efficient chip removal
• Straight-cylindrical shank at 6.00 mm diameter fits standard chucks and collet systems without modification
• Conforms to DIN and ISO standards with m7 diameter tolerance for consistent, repeatable hole sizing

Compatibility

Designed as a screw machine length replacement or production drill bit for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and turret-style screw machines handling cast iron, hard materials, non-ferrous metals, and steel workpieces. Compatible with standard 6.00 mm straight-cylindrical chuck and collet tooling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or tool setup technicians familiar with cutting tool parameters and machine operation. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing or seating the bit in the chuck or collet holder. Verify coolant-through passages are clear and that the machine's coolant system is configured to match the bit's internal coolant path before beginning production runs. Do not exceed the maximum drilling depth of 0.6693 inches (17.00 mm) per pass without retracting to clear chips.
