OVERVIEW

The Fabricator's Choice for Tight Spaces and Sheet Metal

For welders and automotive fabricators, space is often at a premium and precision is mandatory. The Walter 11/32" SST Stub Drill (01H022) is specifically engineered to solve the common frustrations associated with drilling sheet metal and working in confined areas. Known as a "stub" or screw machine length bit, this tool is shorter than a standard drill bit. This compact design allows you to fit your drill into tight chassis corners, wheel wells, and machinery housings where a standard bit simply wouldn't fit.

Beyond its compact size, the 01H022 is a powerhouse of performance. Anyone who has tried to drill out a spot weld or make a rivet hole in a slick panel knows the pain of a drill bit "walking" across the paint. Walter has solved this with a 135° split point. This aggressive tip geometry digs in instantly, ensuring your hole is exactly where you marked it, without the need for a center punch or pilot hole. This feature alone saves countless hours on large fabrication projects and reduces the risk of damaging the surrounding metal.

Durability is paramount when drilling hardened welds or stainless steel panels. The stubby design makes this bit incredibly rigid, virtually eliminating the flexing that causes standard bits to snap. Combined with Walter's exclusive bronze SST surface treatment, which lubricates the cut and dissipates heat, this bit stays sharp longer and cuts faster. It produces clean, round holes with minimal burring, meaning less time spent deburring and more time welding. It is the ideal companion for bodywork, HVAC installation, and general metal fabrication.

Why Welders Prefer the SST Stub Drill

  • No Walking: Starts drilling on contact, even on curved pipe or tubing.
  • Superior Control: Shorter length brings your hand closer to the work for better stability.
  • Longer Life: Resists snapping and dulling, even in stainless steel.

FAQ

A stub drill, also known as a screw machine length drill, has a shorter flute and overall length compared to a standard jobber drill. This makes the stub drill much more rigid, reducing breakage and allowing for use in tighter spaces.

No, the Walter 01H022 features a 135° split point which is self-centering. It is designed to penetrate the material immediately upon contact without walking, eliminating the need for center punching.

Yes, the Walter SST Stub Drill is specifically designed with a heavy-duty web and bronze surface treatment to effectively drill through tough materials like stainless steel, as well as mild steel and non-ferrous metals.

The bronze SST treatment acts as a lubricant and heat deflector. It helps reduce friction between the bit and the workpiece, allowing for cooler drilling temperatures and smoother chip flow, which extends the life of the tool.

Absolutely. In fact, the stub length is ideal for hand drills because the increased rigidity compensates for the natural instability of hand-held operation, resulting in fewer broken bits.

This specific drill bit (SKU 01H022) has a diameter of 11/32 of an inch.

The 135° point angle and short flute length prevent the bit from grabbing or tearing thin materials, ensuring a clean, round hole without distorting the sheet metal.
