OVERVIEW

Drill Stainless Steel Faster and Easier

For welders and fabricators, time is money, and struggling with dull drill bits on stainless steel is a major productivity killer. The Walter SST+ Jobber Drill Bit (#36) is built to solve exactly that problem. Whether you are prepping a piece for fabrication, drilling out rivets, or making pilot holes in pipe, this cobalt-blend bit bites in instantly and cuts through tough metal with aggressive speed.

One of the standout features for fabricators is the exclusive self-centering Speed Tip. Standard drill bits often "walk" or skate across the surface before they start cutting, especially on round stock like tubing or pipe. The SST+ tip digs in immediately upon contact, eliminating the need for a center punch and ensuring your hole is exactly where you need it. This precision is critical when working on expensive stainless steel components where a wandering drill bit can ruin the finish.

Durability is key in a welding shop. The 01B536 is designed to handle the heat generated when drilling stainless steel. The heavy-duty web construction prevents the bit from snapping under pressure, while the high-flow flutes clear metal chips quickly to keep the cutting edge cool. Stop burning through cheap bits and switch to the Walter SST+ for a drilling experience that feels effortless, even on the hardest metals.

Why Fabricators Choose SST+

  • No Walking: Self-centering tip bites into round pipe instantly.
  • Tough on Stainless: Cobalt blend cuts through hard metals without dulling quickly.
  • Less Breakage: Heavy-duty web design resists snapping during hand drilling.

FAQ

The Walter SST+ drill bits are made from a premium cobalt blend, which provides superior heat resistance and hardness compared to standard High-Speed Steel (HSS) bits.

No, the SST+ features a self-centering Speed Tip that prevents walking, allowing you to drill directly into the material without pre-punching, even on curved surfaces.

Yes, the Walter SST+ series is specifically engineered for drilling through tough metals, including stainless steel, mild steel, and non-ferrous metals.

The 01B536 is a #36 wire gauge size drill bit.

The bronze SST treatment reduces friction between the bit and the workpiece, which lowers heat generation and extends the overall life of the drill bit.

Absolutely. The SST+ is designed for both stationary machines and portable hand drilling, with a design that resists breakage and binding.

The High Flow flute design is engineered to evacuate metal chips from the hole more efficiently, preventing clogging and heat buildup.

Yes, the self-centering tip makes it excellent for drilling into round surfaces like pipes and tubing without the bit skating off.
