Walter SST+ Cobalt Drill Bit #38 Wire Gauge

Stop Burning Through Bits on Stainless Steel

Every welder knows the frustration of trying to drill a clean hole in stainless steel only to have the bit skate across the surface, dull instantly, or snap halfway through. The Walter SST+ Jobber Drill Bit #38 is the solution to those headaches. Built tough with a heavy-duty cobalt blend, this bit is specifically designed to eat through stainless steel, mild steel, and non-ferrous metals without backing down. If you are fabricating custom parts or handling repairs that require precise wire-gauge holes, this #38 bit (0.1015" diameter) is an essential addition to your toolbox.

What sets the Walter SST+ apart is its aggressive Speed Tip. You don't need to waste time grabbing a hammer and center punch; just line up your drill, pull the trigger, and the 135-degree split point grabs the metal immediately. It stays exactly where you put it, ensuring your holes are precise and your workpiece remains unmarred. The body of the bit is also designed to make your life easier—it features a special bronze finish and a back-tapered shape that reduces friction. This means the bit stays cooler, cuts faster, and doesn't bind up when you are drilling deep.

Whether you are out in the field with a cordless drill or working at the bench, the Walter 01B538 delivers consistent results. It is built to withstand the heat and stress of drilling hard metals, meaning you spend less time swapping out burnt bits and more time getting the job done. Upgrade to Walter SST+ and experience the difference a quality cobalt bit makes in your daily fabrication work.
