OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Drilling Performance for Metal Fabrication

For welders and fabricators who demand reliability and precision, the Walter 11/64" SST Jobber Drill Bit is the tool of choice. SKU 01A011A brings together advanced materials and smart engineering to solve common drilling headaches found in metalworking. At the heart of this bit is a superior cobalt blend, formulated to withstand the high temperatures generated when drilling through tough materials like mild steel and aluminum. Unlike standard bits that may soften and dull quickly, the SST series maintains a sharp cutting edge, ensuring consistent performance hole after hole.

The geometry of the bit is just as impressive as its metallurgy. It features a 118-degree self-centering Speed Tip, which is a game-changer for fabricators working with sheet metal or tubing. This tip bites into the material immediately upon contact, preventing the bit from skating across the workpiece. This is critical when drilling on curved surfaces or when precise hole placement is mandatory for rivet or bolt alignment. Additionally, the body of the bit is back-tapered, a design choice that significantly reduces friction and drag. Less friction means less heat, and less heat means the bit stays harder and sharper for longer.

Walter has also addressed the common issue of bit slippage with their innovative Quick Shank technology. The shank is designed with longitudinal flats that allow the drill chuck to grip the bit securely. This is especially beneficial when using high-torque cordless drills, as it ensures that all the power of the motor is transferred to the cutting edge. The result is a drilling experience that is faster, smoother, and safer. Packaged in a protective blister pack, this 11/64" bit is ready to tackle your most challenging MRO and fabrication tasks.

FAQ

The Quick Shank feature includes specially designed flats on the shank of the drill bit. This allows keyless chucks on cordless drills to grip the bit more securely, preventing it from spinning or slipping inside the chuck during high-torque applications.

While the cobalt blend provides excellent durability and heat resistance, this specific SST bit is optimized for mild steel, aluminum, and thin gauge metals. For dedicated stainless steel drilling, Walter offers specific high-performance bits, though this bit can handle occasional stainless work if used at the correct speed.

The Speed Tip is a self-centering point geometry that prevents the drill bit from 'walking' or skating across the surface of the material when you start drilling. This eliminates the need for a center punch and ensures precise hole placement.

Yes, the Walter SST drill bit is specifically engineered for cordless drills. Its efficient cutting geometry and Quick Shank design help maximize the number of holes you can drill per battery charge.

This bit is designed for use on aluminum, mild steel, non-ferrous metals, and thin gauge sheet metal. It is also effective for drilling into round surfaces due to its self-centering tip.

This specific product (SKU 01A011A) has a diameter of 11/64 inches.

No, thanks to the self-centering Speed Tip, you generally do not need a pilot hole or a center punch to start drilling, even on curved surfaces.

The bit features a special bronze SST surface treatment which helps to reduce friction, improve heat dissipation, and extend the overall life of the tool.
