OVERVIEW

Reliable Drilling for Fabricators and Welders

When you are out in the shop or on a job site, a broken drill bit can stop production in its tracks. The Walter #21 SST Stub Drill Bit is built to withstand the rigorous demands of welding and metal fabrication. Known for its toughness, this bit utilizes a high-quality cobalt blend that resists the high temperatures generated when drilling through hardened welds or stainless steel panels.

The stub (short) length is a favorite among fabricators for good reason. The shorter shaft offers superior strength and rigidity, making it much harder to snap when you are leaning into a hand drill. This rigidity is crucial when drilling out spot welds or creating rivet holes in sheet metal, where a standard bit might flex and walk. With the Walter SST Stub Drill, you get a straight, clean hole every time.

Walter has equipped this bit with a 135° split point that bites into the metal instantly. This means no skating across the surface and scratching your workpiece—just point and drill. The exclusive Bronze SST finish helps keep the bit cool and slick, preventing the metal from galling or sticking to the flutes. For welders who need tools that work as hard as they do, this drill bit is an essential addition to your toolbox.

Built for the Toughest Jobs

From automotive bodywork to heavy industrial repairs, the 01J021 is designed to perform. It handles thin gauge materials with ease, producing round, burr-free holes that are ready for fasteners or welding. Stop wasting money on cheap bits that burn out or snap; upgrade to Walter's industrial standard and experience the difference in speed and longevity.

FAQ

A stub drill has a shorter overall length and shorter flutes compared to a standard jobber drill. This design provides greater rigidity, reducing the chance of breakage and improving accuracy, especially in sheet metal.

It is made from a premium cobalt blend high-speed steel (HSS), which offers superior heat resistance and durability compared to standard black oxide bits.

Yes, the cobalt blend and Bronze SST surface treatment make it excellent for drilling stainless steel and other hard metals.

A #21 wire gauge drill bit has a diameter of approximately 0.1590 inches (4.04 mm).

No, the split point geometry allows the bit to self-center and start drilling immediately without walking, even on curved surfaces.

The Bronze SST finish reduces friction and heat buildup, allowing for faster drilling speeds and longer tool life.

Yes, the stub length is particularly good for hand drills because the increased rigidity prevents the bit from snapping if the drill is not held perfectly straight.

It is widely used in automotive, aerospace, HVAC, and general metal fabrication industries where sheet metal drilling is common.
