Walter SST+ 17/64 Inch Cobalt Blend Jobber Drill Bit

Drill Stainless Steel Faster with Walter SST+

Every welder knows the frustration of grabbing a standard drill bit to pop a hole in a piece of stainless, only to have it squeal, smoke, and burn out before it even breaks the surface. The Walter SST+ 17/64" drill bit (01A517) is the solution to that headache. Designed specifically for the professional fabricator, this bit is built to eat through the toughest metals without losing its edge. If you are working with stainless steel, heavy-gauge aluminum, or structural steel, this is the bit you want in your chuck.

Why is it different?
It starts with the material. This isn't your average hardware store bit; it is crafted with a heavy-duty cobalt blend. Cobalt makes the steel incredibly heat-resistant, meaning it won't soften up when the friction gets high. This allows you to drill at the speeds required for production work without constantly swapping out dull bits. The bronze coating isn't just for looks—it helps the bit slide through the metal with less friction, keeping temperatures down and extending the life of the tool.

Precision and Control
Walking bits can ruin a finish and waste time. The Walter SST+ features a 135-degree split point tip that bites into the metal the instant it makes contact. You can drill accurate holes on round tubing, pipes, or flat plate without needing a center punch. The unique flute design also pulls chips out of the hole faster, which is critical when drilling stainless to prevent the metal from hardening up on you. Whether you are in the shop using a drill press or out in the field with a hand drill, the Walter SST+ 17/64" bit delivers clean, fast holes every time.

Upgrade your drilling game and stop wasting money on cheap bits that snap and dull. The Walter SST+ is the reliable, heavy-duty choice for serious metalworkers.
