OVERVIEW

Reliable 1/8" Drill Bit for Tough Fabrication Jobs

When you are in the middle of a fabrication project, the last thing you need is a drill bit that dulls instantly or spins helplessly in the chuck. The Walter 1/8" SST Jobber Drill Bit is built to solve these specific shop-floor problems. Designed for welders and fabricators who demand durability, this bit features a robust cobalt blend construction. This material choice allows the bit to maintain its cutting edge even when subjected to the intense heat of drilling through steel and stainless steel alloys. It is a tool built for the reality of heavy-duty metalworking.

The defining feature for many users is the Quick Shank technology. If you have ever struggled with a round shank bit slipping in your drill chuck—especially when applying pressure—you know how it kills productivity and damages the shank. The Walter Quick Shank ensures a positive lock every time, whether you are using a hand drill or a drill press. This secure grip means all the power from your drill goes directly into the cut, making your work faster and easier. It is especially effective for cordless tools, helping you get the most out of your battery life on the job site.

Drilling through sheet metal or round tubing can be tricky, but the Walter SST makes it straightforward. The self-centering Speed Tip allows you to place the bit exactly where you need it and start drilling without it wandering across the workpiece. This eliminates the extra step of center punching, saving you time on every hole. The bit's geometry is also optimized to drill round holes in thin materials without tearing or distorting the metal, a common issue with standard bits. The back-tapered design prevents binding, ensuring the bit exits the material as smoothly as it enters.

From aluminum repairs to mild steel fabrication, this 1/8-inch jobber bit is a versatile workhorse. Its bronze surface treatment helps shed chips and reduce friction, keeping the bit cooler and cutting longer. Upgrade your drilling arsenal with a bit that works as hard as you do.

FAQ

This drill bit is designed for use on mild steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and thin gauge sheet metal. Its cobalt blend construction allows it to handle tough drilling tasks effectively.

The Quick Shank design ensures a secure grip in the drill chuck, preventing the bit from spinning or slipping during high-torque applications. This is especially useful for keyless chucks found on cordless drills.

No, the Walter SST bit features a self-centering "Speed Tip" that allows you to start drilling immediately without walking, even on curved surfaces, eliminating the need for center punching.

Yes, it is highly recommended for cordless drills. The Quick Shank ensures efficient torque transfer, and the cutting geometry is designed to maximize the number of holes you can drill per battery charge.

The bronze SST surface treatment helps to reduce friction between the bit and the workpiece, which lowers heat buildup and improves chip flow for a smoother drilling operation.

This is a Jobber length drill bit, which is the standard length for general-purpose drilling, offering a good balance between reach and rigidity.

Yes, the self-centering tip makes it ideal for drilling into round surfaces like pipes or tubing without the bit wandering off the mark.
