OVERVIEW

The Fabricator's Choice for Clean Holes

When you are out in the shop or on a job site, you need tools that multitask as well as you do. The Walter 01W951 Multi-Step Drill Set is the ultimate problem solver for welders and fabricators working with sheet metal and thin-walled tubing. Forget about carrying a heavy index box full of twist drills that snag and tear thin materials. This three-piece set gives you the capability to drill dozens of different hole sizes with just three tools, allowing you to move faster and work cleaner.

Drilling stainless steel sheet metal is notoriously difficult due to work hardening, but Walter has engineered these bits to cut freely and stay cool. The secret is in the AlCrN coating and the specialized flute design. As you drill, the bit creates its own pilot hole and progressively enlarges it to your desired diameter, deburring the edge as it goes. This means you get a perfectly round, clean hole in one pass, ready for a bolt or conduit connector. The two-flute design helps clear the metal shavings quickly, so you can see your markings and keep the heat down.

We know that nothing is more frustrating than a drill bit spinning inside your chuck when you are halfway through a cut. Walter solved this by machining three flat surfaces onto the shank of every bit in this set. Whether you are using a cordless drill or a drill press, these bits lock in tight and transfer all the power to the cutting edge. From installing gauges on a control panel to modifying a stainless steel backsplash, this set covers the most common sizes you will encounter: 1/8" to 1/2", 3/16" to 7/8", and 1/4" to 1-3/8".

Why Welders Love This Set

  • Versatility: Replaces dozens of individual drill bits.
  • Clean Cuts: Drills and deburrs in a single operation.
  • Toughness: Built to handle stainless steel without burning up.

FAQ

AlCrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride) offers superior heat resistance and hardness compared to standard coatings, making it ideal for drilling tough materials like stainless steel where heat buildup is a major factor.

Yes, the combination of the high-speed steel core, bronze SST treatment, and AlCrN coating makes them specifically suitable for drilling stainless steel sheet materials.

These step drills are designed for sheet materials typically up to 1/8 inch thick. Attempting to drill thicker solid stock may prevent the step geometry from working effectively.

No, these multi-step bits feature a self-starting tip that prevents walking, allowing you to drill precise holes without pre-punching.

The set includes three bits with the following ranges: 1/8" to 1/2" (13 steps), 3/16" to 7/8" (12 steps), and 1/4" to 1-3/8" (10 steps).

The shanks have three ground flats to ensure the chuck jaws grip the bit securely, preventing it from spinning inside the drill chuck during high-torque cuts.

While it is technically possible to regrind the flutes, it is difficult to maintain the step geometry and coating performance. It is generally recommended to replace the bit once it becomes dull to ensure safety and cut quality.

Yes, using a high-quality cutting lubricant like Walter Coolcut is highly recommended, especially when drilling stainless steel, to further extend the life of the tool.
