When you are fabricating sheet metal or prepping surfaces for welding, you need a drill bit that won't snap the moment you apply pressure. The Walter #14 SST Stub Drill is designed with the welder in mind. Its "stub" or screw machine length provides a sturdy, short profile that resists snapping, even when you are leaning into a cut with a hand drill. This makes it perfect for drilling out spot welds, creating rivet holes, or prepping thin gauge stainless steel where standard bits often fail due to flexing.
Time is money in the welding shop, and the Walter SST Stub Drill saves you both. It features a precision split point that centers itself instantly. You won't need to waste time grabbing a center punch or worrying about the bit wandering across your workpiece and scratching the finish. The aggressive cutting geometry allows for lightning-fast penetration, while the specialized bronze coating helps shed chips and heat. This ensures clean, round holes every time, which is critical for fitting fasteners or preparing for plug welds.
Standard drill bits often burn up when faced with the work-hardening properties of stainless steel. Walter has solved this by using a premium cobalt blend for their SST line. This material composition allows the #14 bit to cut through tough alloys without losing its temper or dulling prematurely. Whether you are working on mild steel, aluminum, or stainless enclosures, this stub drill delivers the performance and longevity required for professional fabrication environments.
