01H012 - Walter 3/16 Sst Stub Drill

The Unbreakable Drill Bit for Fabricators

Every welder knows the frustration of snapping a drill bit halfway through a job. It usually happens right when you're almost through the metal, or when you're working at an awkward angle. The Walter 01H012 3/16" SST Stub Drill is the solution to that headache. Designed with a shorter, sturdier profile than standard bits, this "stubby" drill is built to take a beating. Because it is shorter, it doesn't flex or bend when you lean into it, meaning you can apply the pressure needed to punch through stainless steel and heavy-gauge sheet metal without watching your money snap in half. It is the reliable workhorse you need in your tool crib for those days when failure isn't an option.

No More Walking, No More Center Punching

Time is money in the welding shop. Stopping to center punch every single hole location slows you down. The Walter SST Stub Drill features a specialized 135-degree split point tip that acts like an anchor the moment it touches the metal. It won't wander or "walk" across the surface, even if you are drilling into a curved pipe or a polished stainless sheet. This self-centering action allows you to drill accurately with one hand while holding your workpiece with the other, streamlining your workflow and improving the quality of your fit-up. It is perfect for drilling out spot welds or prepping holes for rivets and fasteners.

Built for Stainless and Thin Metal

Drilling thin sheet metal with a long bit often results in jagged, triangular holes rather than perfect circles. The rigidity of this Walter stub drill ensures a true, round hole every time, which is critical for proper rivet seating and bolt alignment. The Bronze SST surface treatment helps the bit run cooler, preventing it from burning up when you are drilling hard materials like stainless steel. Whether you are building custom exhaust systems, repairing body panels, or fabricating industrial kitchens, this 3/16" bit delivers the clean, fast cuts you need to keep your project moving forward.
