OVERVIEW

Stop Breaking Bits: The Walter 1/4" SST Stub Drill Solution

Every welder knows the frustration: you are in a tight spot, trying to drill out a rivet or prep a hole for a bracket, and snap—your drill bit breaks, leaving a jagged shard stuck in the metal. It’s time to upgrade to a tool that fights back. The Walter 01H016 1/4" SST Stub Drill Bit is built for the real-world abuse of the welding shop and the job site. By utilizing a shorter "stub" length, this bit eliminates the flex and wobble found in standard length bits. This extra stiffness means you can lean into the drill and apply the pressure needed to cut through tough metals without worrying about the bit snapping in half.

Designed with the fabricator in mind, this bit eats stainless steel for breakfast. The secret is the 135-degree split point. Standard bits tend to skate across the surface, scratching your work before they finally bite. The Walter SST split point acts like an anchor, digging in the instant you pull the trigger. You don't need a center punch, and you don't need to waste time starting a pilot hole. This makes it perfect for auto body work, sheet metal fabrication, and HVAC installation where speed and finish quality matter. The self-centering action is a lifesaver when you are drilling into round tubing or working overhead where keeping the drill steady is a challenge.

Durability is boosted by Walter’s exclusive Bronze SST coating. This isn't just for looks; the bronze treatment helps the bit shed heat, keeping the cutting edges sharp long after other bits have dulled and burned up. It lubricates the cut, allowing the bit to slide through aluminum and copper without gumming up, and powers through hardened steel with ease. Whether you are drilling out spot welds or fabricating a custom chassis, the Walter 1/4" SST Stub Drill is the reliable partner you need in your toolbox. Stop wasting money on cheap bits that break and start drilling with confidence.

FAQ

A stub drill, also called a screw machine length drill, has a shorter flute and overall length. This makes the bit much more rigid and resistant to breaking, which is ideal for drilling hard metals or using hand drills where the tool might wobble.

No, the Walter 01H016 features a 135° split point that is self-centering. It bites into the metal immediately, preventing the bit from walking or skating across the surface.

Yes, it is excellent for stainless steel. The heavy-duty construction, 135° point, and Bronze SST surface treatment are specifically designed to handle the heat and hardness of stainless steel applications.

This is a 1/4 inch diameter drill bit.

Yes, stub drills are actually preferred for portable hand drills because their shorter length offers better control and less chance of snapping if the drill is tilted during use.

The Bronze SST coating helps reduce friction and heat buildup while drilling. This keeps the cutting edge sharper for longer, extending the life of the bit.

Absolutely. The 135° split point cuts quickly and cleanly, and the short length prevents the flexing that often causes out-of-round holes in thin sheet metal.
