OVERVIEW

Unstoppable Performance for Stainless Steel Drilling

Welders and fabricators know that drilling large holes in stainless steel can be a nightmare with inferior tools. The Walter 31/32" SST+ Prentice Drill Bit (01M562) is designed to turn that nightmare into a smooth operation. Built tough with a high-grade cobalt blend, this bit is made to withstand the heat and stress of drilling through hard metals without dulling prematurely. Whether you are working on a custom fabrication job, repairing heavy machinery, or installing structural components, this bit delivers the aggressive cut and longevity you need to stay productive.

The 01M562 features a 1/2-inch reduced shank, making it compatible with the standard drills you already have in your shop or truck. Unlike standard round-shank bits that can slip and score your chuck when the going gets tough, this Walter bit features three secure flats on the shank. This "Prentice" design locks the bit firmly in place, ensuring that every ounce of torque your drill produces is used to cut metal, not spin the bit in the jaws.

Forget about the hassle of pilot holes and center punches. The Walter SST+ features a unique point geometry that centers itself instantly, even on round stock or uneven surfaces. This means you get accurate holes exactly where you want them, faster than ever before. The bronze surface treatment acts as a lubricant, keeping the bit cooler and helping to clear chips efficiently. When your project demands a clean, 31/32" hole in mild steel, stainless, or non-ferrous metals, trust the Walter SST+ to get the job done right the first time.
