Walter SST+ #24 Cobalt Stub Drill Bit for Stainless Steel

Stop Breaking Bits on Stainless Steel

Every welder knows the frustration of snapping a drill bit halfway through a job, especially when working with unforgiving materials like stainless steel. The Walter 01J024 #24 SST Stub Drill Bit is the solution to that headache. Built for the professional fabricator who demands reliability, this drill bit is designed to withstand the abuse that destroys lesser tools. The secret lies in its "stub" design. Because it is shorter than a standard drill bit, it doesn't flex or bend under pressure. This means you can lean into the drill to get the bite you need without worrying about the bit snapping off in the hole. It is the perfect choice for drilling out rivets, working on truck bodies, or fabricating stainless steel panels.

The 01J024 isn't just tough; it's smart. It is manufactured from a special cobalt blend that resists the intense heat generated when drilling hard metals. Standard bits soften and dull quickly when they get hot, but this Walter SST bit keeps its edge, cutting cleaner and faster for longer. This durability saves you money in the long run—instead of burning through a box of cheap bits, one high-quality Walter bit can keep you working shift after shift. The bronze surface treatment further aids in keeping the bit cool and preventing chips from welding to the flutes, ensuring a clean cut every time.

Ease of use is another major benefit of this drill bit. It features a split-point tip that bites into the metal the instant you pull the trigger. You don't need to waste time grabbing a center punch and hammer to mark your spot; just point and drill. This self-centering action is a lifesaver when working on curved surfaces or round tubing, where other bits tend to wander off the mark. Whether you are in the shop or out on a field repair, the Walter #24 SST Stub Drill gives you the control and power you need to drill accurate holes in mild steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. Upgrade your toolbox with a drill bit that works as hard as you do.
