01H019 - Walter 19/64 Sst Stub Drill

Heavy-Duty Walter 19/64" Stub Drill for Tough Jobs

When space is tight and the material is tough, the Walter 19/64" SST Stub Drill is the tool you need in your arsenal. Designed for welders, fabricators, and mechanics who demand reliability, this drill bit solves the common problems associated with standard length bits. Its "stub" or screw machine length profile allows it to fit into confined spaces where a longer drill simply won't go, making it indispensable for automotive repair, machinery maintenance, and complex assembly work. More importantly, the shorter length provides superior structural strength, drastically reducing the likelihood of the bit snapping when lateral pressure is accidentally applied.

Drilling through stainless steel and sheet metal requires a bit that cuts clean and stays cool. Walter has equipped this drill with a 135-degree split point, a premium feature that ensures the bit starts cutting the instant it touches the metal. This self-centering capability is a game-changer when working on polished surfaces or curved pipes, as it prevents the bit from skidding and marring the finish. You can say goodbye to the extra step of using a center punch; just point and drill with confidence. The precision ground edges shear through metal smoothly, leaving behind a clean hole that requires little to no deburring.

The 01H019 is not just about geometry; it's about material science. The bit features a special bronze SST surface treatment that acts as a shield against heat and wear. As you drill, this treatment helps evacuate chips efficiently and prevents the work-hardening of stainless steel, a common headache for fabricators. This means you get more holes per bit and less downtime changing out dull tools. From mild steel to non-ferrous metals, this versatile drill bit is optimized for portable drilling applications where high torque and pressure are the norm.

Why Choose a Stub Drill?

For sheet metal work, the stub drill is superior because its rigidity prevents the "lobing" or triangular hole shapes often caused by flexible longer bits. The Walter SST Stub Drill ensures round, accurate holes every time, preserving the integrity of your rivets or fasteners. It is the robust, no-nonsense solution for professionals who value precision and durability.
