Walter SST+ #26 Cobalt Stub Drill Bit for Sheet Metal

Tough Bits for Tough Jobs: The Welder's Choice

Every welder knows the frustration of snapping a drill bit halfway through a job, especially when working with a portable hand drill on a vertical surface or in a tight corner. The Walter #26 SST Stub Drill Bit is the solution to that headache. Built for the rigorous demands of the welding and MRO industry, this bit features a short, stout "stub" profile that is far less likely to break under the side-load pressure often applied during manual drilling. It is the perfect companion for auto body work, rivet removal, and preparing surfaces for spot welds.

Drilling through stainless steel is a common requirement for modern welders, and standard bits often burn up before they break through. This Walter bit is crafted from a heavy-duty cobalt blend, giving it the heat resistance needed to cut through hardened metals without losing its temper. The 135-degree split point bites instantly into the metal, meaning you spend less time pushing and more time getting the hole drilled. It cuts clean and fast, leaving a burr-free hole that is ready for the next step in your fabrication process.

The 01J026 is not just another disposable tool; it is an investment in efficiency. The bronze surface treatment helps shed chips and reduce friction, extending the life of the bit significantly. Whether you are drilling out broken bolts, installing panels, or fabricating custom brackets, having a reliable stub drill in your arsenal ensures you can tackle the job with confidence. Stop wasting money on brittle bits that snap at the first sign of torque—upgrade to Walter's SST line and experience the difference in durability and performance.
