01H026 - Walter 13/32 Sst Stub Drill

Precision Performance for Stainless and Hard Metals

The Walter 01H026 13/32" SST Stub Drill is a premium cutting tool designed to overcome the common challenges associated with drilling high-tensile materials. In welding and fabrication, hole quality and tool longevity are paramount. This drill bit utilizes a heavy-duty web construction and a stub length profile to deliver maximum torque transfer to the cutting edge. By minimizing the distance between the chuck and the workpiece, the bit resists deflection and vibration, resulting in rounder, more accurate holes and significantly reduced tool breakage.

Fabricators working with stainless steel know the difficulty of work-hardening. If a drill bit dwells without cutting, the material hardens, destroying the bit's edge. The Walter SST Stub Drill combats this with its aggressive 135° split point and specialized bronze surface treatment. The split point ensures instant penetration with lower feed pressure, while the bronze coating acts as a lubricant and heat shield. This combination allows the bit to cut freely and efficiently, evacuating chips quickly and preventing heat buildup that leads to premature failure.

This bit is particularly effective for drilling sheet metal, thin-walled tubing, and structural sections where a clean exit hole is required. The self-centering point eliminates the need for pre-drilling or center punching, streamlining your workflow. Compatible with both stationary drill presses and portable power tools, the Walter 13/32" SST Stub Drill is the reliable choice for MRO applications, custom fabrication, and heavy industrial manufacturing where standard bits simply cannot compete.
