OVERVIEW

The Welder's Choice for Sheet Metal

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.

Bite Fast, Drill Clean

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.

Built for Stainless and Hard Alloys

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.

FAQ

A stub drill (or 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 and less prone to breaking, which is ideal for drilling sheet metal or using portable hand drills.

A #14 wire gauge drill bit has a diameter of 0.1820 inches (approximately 4.62 mm).

Yes, the Walter SST Stub Drill is made from a cobalt blend specifically designed to handle hard materials like stainless steel without dulling quickly.

Generally, no. The bit features a split point geometry that self-centers on contact, preventing the bit from walking or skating across the surface.

The bronze SST surface treatment reduces friction between the bit and the workpiece, which helps lower drilling temperatures and improves chip flow.

Yes, it works excellently on non-ferrous metals like aluminum, as well as mild steel and stainless steel.

Sheet metal often causes standard bits to grab and snap as they break through the other side. The shorter, stiffer stub drill resists this torque, preventing breakage.

SST refers to Walter's 'Super Speed Tip' technology, indicating the high-performance geometry and coating designed for fast drilling.
