01H029 - Walter 29/64 Sst Stub Drill

The Tough Bit for Tight Spots and Hard Metal

Every welder knows the frustration of snapping a drill bit halfway through a job, especially when working on a frame or inside a tight cabinet. The Walter 29/64" SST Stub Drill (01H029) is the solution to that problem. Built shorter and thicker than standard bits, this "stubby" design is virtually unbreakable under normal use. It doesn't flex or wobble, giving you the power to lean into the cut and get through hard materials like stainless steel brackets or heavy-gauge sheet metal without fear of the bit shattering.

Speed and accuracy are key in fabrication, and this bit delivers both. It features a 135-degree split point tip that bites into the metal the instant it touches. You don't need to waste time grabbing a center punch or worrying about the bit sliding off your mark and scratching the workpiece. This self-centering action is perfect for drilling out spot welds, rivets, or making pilot holes in round tubing where standard bits tend to wander. The clean cutting action leaves minimal burrs, meaning less cleanup time with a grinder or file afterwards.

Walter has coated this bit with a special bronze SST treatment that helps it run cooler. Drilling generates a lot of heat, which dulls bits fast. This coating helps shed that heat and keeps the cutting edges sharp longer, even when you are drilling through tough 304 or 316 stainless. Whether you are in the shop or out on a field repair, having a reliable 29/64" stub drill in your kit ensures you can handle the awkward, heavy-duty drilling tasks that standard hardware store bits just can't handle.

Why Welders Choose SST Stub Drills

• Fits Anywhere: Short length gets into tight corners and confined spaces.
• Stays Sharp: Bronze coating resists heat and wear on stainless steel.
• No Walking: 135° tip starts drilling exactly where you point it.
• Heavy Duty: Resists snapping when you apply pressure.
