OVERVIEW

Tough Tasks Made Easy: Walter #16 SST Stub Drill

Stop wasting time and money on drill bits that snap under pressure. The Walter #16 SST Stub Drill Bit is engineered to handle the toughest jobs in the shop or on the field. If you frequently drill sheet metal, stainless steel, or use a hand drill, you know the frustration of long bits flexing and breaking. This "stub" style bit solves that problem with a shorter, sturdier flute design that offers maximum resistance to breakage. It is the ultimate solution for welders and fabricators who need a tool that works as hard as they do.

Speed matters in production, and the Walter SST Stub Drill is built for speed. It features a heavy-duty split point that bites into the metal instantly—no wandering, no skating, and no need to waste time center punching every hole. Whether you are drilling out rivets, creating pilot holes, or fabricating stainless steel panels, this bit cuts fast and stays sharp. The secret lies in its premium cobalt blend construction, which withstands the intense heat generated when drilling hard metals, ensuring the cutting edge lasts far longer than generic hardware store bits.

Versatility is key for any MRO toolkit. While this bit excels at drilling sheet metal and round surfaces, it is equally effective on mild steel and non-ferrous metals. The #16 wire gauge size (0.1770 inches) is a critical size for specific tapping and clearance applications. With its Bronze SST surface treatment reducing friction and heat, you get more holes per bit and less downtime changing out dull tools. Upgrade your drilling arsenal with the Walter 01J016 and experience the difference that professional-grade tooling makes.

FAQ

A #16 wire gauge drill bit has a diameter of 0.1770 inches (approximately 4.5 mm).

Stub drills have a shorter flute and overall length, making them much more rigid. This prevents flexing and breakage, especially when drilling sheet metal or using hand-held drills.

Yes, this bit is made from a cobalt blend specifically designed to withstand the high heat and hardness of drilling stainless steel.

No, the Walter SST Stub Drill features a split point design that self-centers and prevents walking, allowing you to drill directly without a center punch.

The Bronze SST treatment increases the surface hardness of the bit and reduces friction, allowing for smoother drilling and better heat dissipation.

Yes, the combination of the short, rigid stub design and the self-centering split point makes it excellent for drilling into round surfaces like pipes or tubing without slipping.

It is suitable for mild steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, and sheet metal.

SST typically refers to Walter's 'Super Speed Tip' or 'Super Speed Tough' line, indicating high-performance geometry and materials.
