OVERVIEW

Tough Bits for Tough Jobs: Walter #20 SST+

When you are staring down a piece of heavy-gauge stainless steel, you need a drill bit that bites, not one that burns out. The Walter #20 SST+ Jobber Drill Bit is built for welders and fabricators who demand reliability. Unlike cheap bits that dull after a few holes, the SST+ uses a heavy-duty cobalt blend that stands up to the high heat generated when drilling hard metals. This means you spend less time swapping out dull bits and more time getting the job done.

One of the biggest frustrations in the shop is a drill bit that "walks" across the metal before it starts cutting. Walter solved this with their Speed Tip. This self-centering point digs in immediately, even on round tubing or pipe, so you don't have to waste time grabbing a center punch and hammer. It gives you precise holes exactly where you need them, right from the start.

The design of the bit also helps you work faster. The special flute shape pulls chips out of the hole quickly, keeping the bit cooler and preventing it from getting stuck. Plus, the bronze finish isn't just for looks—it helps the bit slide through the metal with less resistance. Whether you are drilling out broken bolts, prepping for a tap, or fabricating a custom bracket, the Walter #20 SST+ (01B520) is the workhorse you want in your drill index.
